The Allied States of Psy che is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 45 million Psy cheans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The Psy chean economy, worth 1.79 trillion Asters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,771 Asters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Psy che's national animal is the Aster, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Psy che is ranked 171,545^th in the world and 10^th in Asteroid Belt for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 339.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
