The Solar Wind of Astroteuthis is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning white dwarf population. The hard-working, cynical population of 45.177 billion Astroteuthisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The Astroteuthisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,890 trillion asteroids a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,852 asteroids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, political activists are routinely executed, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astroteuthis's national animal is the white dwarf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Astroteuthis is ranked 199,291st in the world and 1st in Neptune for Safest, scoring 42.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
