The Space Federation of Sirius 2B is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Bellegarde with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.763 billion Sirians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terminus Alpha. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Boonbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 174,127 Boonbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is totally unknown. Sirius 2B's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Juggaloism.

Sirius 2B is ranked 117,847^th in the world and 159^th in Starlight for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,196.21 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
