The Constellation Society of Retralik is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Administrative Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and state-planned economy. The quiet, industrious population of 8.295 billion Societians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cape Canaveral. The average income tax rate is 48.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Societian economy, worth 423 trillion Caps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,063 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, Administrative Council has just been declared ruler of Retralik in an international press conference, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and Astral Cult has been named as Retralik's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Retralik's national animal is the Astronaut, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Astral Cult.

Retralik is ranked 69,350^th in the world and 21^st in The Fallout Wasteland for Safest, scoring 95.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
