The Federation of The United Earth Planet is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kenneth Wescott III with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.44 billion Earthlings enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth a remarkable 1,553 trillion Federation Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 148,803 Federation Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Earth Planet's national animal is the Humpback Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Starfleet.

The United Earth Planet is ranked 283,349^th in the world and 165^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Patriotic, with 0.43 flags saluted per person per day.
