The Featured Region Event of A Giant Meteor is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Halley Comet with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.641 billion Meteorians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toutatis. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meteorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Lodestones a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 182,178 Lodestones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors fax when they need facts fast, workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Giant Meteor's national animal is the Ameoba, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Followers of the Feature.

A Giant Meteor is ranked 183,108th in the world and 2nd in Asteroids for Most Stationary, with 74.0925914696 days.
