The Federal Republic of Federation of the Astral Plane is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.002 billion Astrals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seven Heavens of Celestia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Federation of the Astral Planean economy, worth a remarkable 7,490 trillion Moxens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 340,423 Moxens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, the comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime is totally unknown. Federation of the Astral Plane's national animal is the Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Federation of the Astral Plane is ranked 108^th in the world and 3^rd in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 100.55 on the Human Development Index.
