The Galaxy of George Jetson is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jane His Wife with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and feral children. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 24.429 billion George Jetsonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orbit City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient George Jetsonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,763 trillion Spacely Sprockets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 276,865 Spacely Sprockets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. George Jetson's national animal is the Dog Astro, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

George Jetson is ranked 7,954th in the world and 175th in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 176.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
