The Allied Nation of Infinite Star is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Council of Five with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.397 billion In-humans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaria. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meta-human economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion IS-Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,297 IS-Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through The Council of Five's window to draw attention to their issues, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Infinite Star's national animal is the Money Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Logicalism.

Infinite Star is ranked 3,786th in the world and 45th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 262.46 kickbacks per hour.
