The Wandering Probe of Voyager Number 1 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Little Prince with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 1.609 billion Starsailers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heliosphere. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voyager Number 1ian economy, worth 226 trillion Circuits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,581 Circuits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voyager Number 1's national animal is the Temperamental Rose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Golden Records.

Voyager Number 1 is ranked 8,736th in the world and 66th in Refugia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 170.03 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
