The Featured Region Event of A Giant Meteor is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Halley Comet with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, enslaved workforce, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.927 billion Meteorians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toutatis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Meteorian economy, worth a remarkable 3,296 trillion Lodestones 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 220,810 Lodestones, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 799,939 per year while the poor average 43,454, a ratio of 18.4 to 1.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', scientists take credit every time it rains in Aegis Dominion, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Giant Meteor's national animal is the Ameoba, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Followers of the Feature.

A Giant Meteor is ranked 86,312th in the world and 1st in Aegis Dominion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,697.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
