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. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Where No Man Has Gone Before's national animal is the humans, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ESPer.

Where No Man Has Gone Before is ranked 113,092nd in the world and 52nd in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Stationary, with 349.23504037832 days.
