The Republic of Planetarian Confederation is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 1.339 billion Citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Planetarian Confederationian economy, worth 51.4 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,383 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, and anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planetarian Confederation's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Planetarian Confederation is ranked 140,984^th in the world and 6,373^rd in Osiris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 450.29 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
