The Federated Isles of Galacta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Macy Griffon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 29.53 billion Galactans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galactara. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Galactany economy, worth 762 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,823 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and skateboarding is the only legal way to travel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galacta's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is christianity.

Galacta is ranked 123,952^nd in the world and 11^th in The Allied States for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 614.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
