The Tea Milk Allies of The Union of Galaxies is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gracious the Great with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.208 billion Galactians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saturnia. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Galactian economy, worth 586 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 139,395 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, and statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Union of Galaxies's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Union of Galaxies is ranked 59,204^th in the world and 1,732^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,712.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
