The Galactic Protectorate of Federative Earth States is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Liu Xioyang with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 1.285 billion Dominians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inner Souprefia. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dominian economy, worth 96.4 trillion Soupcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 75,001 Soupcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federative Earth States's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Federative Earth States is ranked 226,713^th in the world and 67^th in Kerbals of the North for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
