The Nomadic Peoples of Interstellar Generational Starship is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by AI triumvirate of inhuman intellects with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.068 billion Interstellar Generational Starshipians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Control Center. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Interstellar Generational Starshipian economy, worth 843 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 104,563 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper, all footpaths have tollbooths, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Interstellar Generational Starshipians's kindness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interstellar Generational Starship's national animal is the Shmoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Panspermia.

Interstellar Generational Starship is ranked 256,313th in the world and 4th in An Island In Space for Most Primitive, scoring -125.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
