The Confederacy of Interdependent Systems is a massive, safe nation, ruled by God Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.32 billion Raxans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raxus Omegus. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Interdependent Systemsian economy, worth 274 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,305 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interdependent Systems's national animal is the Hawkbat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Sith Order.

Interdependent Systems is ranked 166,497^th in the world and 7^th in Erchion for Largest Populations, with 2.32 billion capita.
