The Colony of Cygnus 003 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 4.801 billion Stargazers are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Cygnus 003ian economy, worth 234 trillion Saiphs 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 48,782 Saiphs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, women across the country are tying the knot, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygnus 003's national animal is the Bellatrix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cygnus 003 is ranked 95,864th in the world and 5,336th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
