The Holy Empire of Galatic Federation is a mid-sized, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 69 million Galatic Federationians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The Galatic Federationian economy, worth 3.54 trillion Chunks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,322 Chunks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galatic Federation's national animal is the Tigre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galatic Federation is ranked 146,394^th in the world and 125^th in Declansburg for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 405.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
