The Holy Empire of Galatic Federation is a large, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 162 million Galatic Federationians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Galatic Federationian economy, worth 8.34 trillion Chunks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,468 Chunks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", people are always able to look each other in the eye, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Galatic Federation's national animal is the Tigre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
