The Space Federation of Sirius 2B is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Lady Bellegarde with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.842 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 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 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Sirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 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, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 176,657 Boonbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, the royal family successfully hosted Sirius 2B's most elaborate yard sale, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and extreme political groups are outlawed. 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 3,409^th in the world and 21^st in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 94.78 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
