The Democratic Republic of Central Star Alliance is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ian McConnell with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.392 billion Allianceans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allencia. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alliancean economy, worth 471 trillion Alliance Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,869 Alliance Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Star Alliance's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Central Star Alliance is ranked 10,944^th in the world and 295^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,502.5 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
