The Godlike ESPers of Where No Man Has Gone Before is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.091 billion ESPers 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delta Vega. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Where No Man Has Gone Beforean economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion powers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

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 98,825 powers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
