The Terran Empire of Hoshi Sato is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hoshi Sato with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.471 billion Terrans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Hoshi Satoan economy, worth an astonishing 10,437 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 366,605 Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,064,472 per year while the poor average 32,100, a ratio of 64.3 to 1.
The police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Hoshi Sato's national animal is the Runaway Slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hoshi Sato.
Hoshi Sato is ranked 4,735th in the world and 1st in Alpha Quadrant for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
