The     of Space Bar is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Yuri Gagarin with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.022 billion astronauts 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of International Space Station. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse spacey economy, worth 654 trillion keyboards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,625 keyboards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The house always wins, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Space Bar's national animal is the alien, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is liftoff.

Space Bar is ranked 71,823rd in the world and 12th in Seinfeld for Safest, scoring 95.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
