The Galactic Starfleet of Chiss Admiral Thrawn is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 15.168 billion Imperials 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 enormous government is dominated by the Department of Healthcare, with Law & Order, Defense, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Chiss economy, worth 577 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,106 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chiss Admiral Thrawn's national animal is the Ysamaliri, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chiss Admiral Thrawn is ranked 87,256^th in the world and 51^st in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 93.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
