The Allied Nation of Infinite Star is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Council of Five with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.303 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 1,082 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 251,609 IS-Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, and police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane. 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 282,510^th in the world and 3,873^rd in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.37 average smiles per day.
