The Night fall nation of Star Federation is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.583 billion Star Federationians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Star Federationian economy, worth 224 trillion squidcoins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,747 squidcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, childish pranks are no laughing matter, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Federation's national animal is the My long lost brother, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Star Federation is ranked 86,888^th in the world and 1^st in Vakenkardia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,995.65 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
