The Interstellar Nation of The Federated Planets Of Earth is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Evelyn Reeves with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.799 billion Humans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Human economy, worth 753 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,771 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation tends not to learn from its history, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and all you have to do is pray to get into The Federated Planets Of Earth. Crime is totally unknown. The Federated Planets Of Earth's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Federated Planets Of Earth is ranked 15,857^th in the world and 275^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 25.46 average smiles per day.
