The Tea Milk Allies of The Union of Galaxies is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gracious the Great with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.175 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 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Galactian economy, worth 581 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 139,266 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Belief that Gracious the Great is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. 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 13,626^th in the world and 583^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 106 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
