The Allied Nation of Infinite Star is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Council of Five with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.298 billion In-humans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaria. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meta-human economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion IS-Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 247,211 IS-Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, people who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Infinite Star's national animal is the Money Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Logicalism.

Infinite Star is ranked 2,615^th in the world and 45^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
