The Grand Republic of Galactoreus is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Vaelis with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 5.848 billion Galactoreans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galactoreus City. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Galactorian economy, worth 449 trillion credits a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,812 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, single celebrities have to repeatedly prove their chastity to avoid being married off to infatuated fans, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, and Supreme Chancellor Vaelis's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactoreus's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Galactoreus is ranked 47,942^nd in the world and 2^nd in Empire of Galactoreus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.6 Effective Tax Rate.
