The Confederacy of The Union of Galaxies is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 544 million Galactians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saturnia. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Galactian economy, worth 37.6 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 69,049 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends millions of Euros every year prosecuting spammers, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, Galactian actors literally work from cradle to grave, and all you have to do is pray to get into The Union of Galaxies. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. The Union of Galaxies's national animal is the Fennec, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Union of Galaxies is ranked 52,994^th in the world and 2,640^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,814.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
