The Celestial Empire of Galactya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archailect Pentavir with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.159 billion Galactyans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ourem. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Galactyan economy, worth 285 trillion Sovereigns 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 90,465 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactya's national animal is the Shamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galactya is ranked 37,634^th in the world and 804^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,454.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
