The Borderlands of Voyager 1 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by NASA with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, rampant corporate plagiarism, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.793 billion Voyager 1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of **almost** one light day away. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Voyager 1ian economy, worth 320 trillion Golden Records 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, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 84,540 Golden Records, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Childish pranks are no laughing matter, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around **almost** one light day away, and Voyager 1ian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Voyager 1's national animal is the Satellite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voyager 1 is ranked 76,681^st in the world and 1^st in Regionate for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,692.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
