The Republic of NGC 6946 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning kangaroo population. The quiet, industrious population of 2.94 billion NGC 6946ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped NGC 6946ian economy, worth 90.2 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,663 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NGC 6946's national animal is the kangaroo.

NGC 6946 is ranked 291,543^rd in the world and 9^th in Mirror World 99 for Highest Average Incomes, with 30,663.5 Standard Monetary Units.
