The Continuing Adventures of The Starship Command is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Admiral Chelsea Leach with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.135 billion spacemen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Supreme Headquarters Allied Forces Space. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upian economy, worth a remarkable 2,577 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,429 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in The Starship Command to be bombproof. Crime is totally unknown. The Starship Command's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Starship Command is ranked 38,848^th in the world and 6^th in The Vast for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
