The Continuing Adventures of The Starship Command is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Admiral Chelsea Leach with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 27.336 billion spacemen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Supreme Headquarters Allied Forces Space. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Upian economy, worth a remarkable 3,123 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,245 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in The Starship Command to be bombproof. Crime is totally unknown. The Starship Command's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Starship Command is ranked 20,434^th in the world and 5^th in The Vast for Highest Poor Incomes, with 90,562.47 Standard Monetary Units.
