The Cross Staff of Astrologist is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.344 billion Astrologists are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Astrologistian economy, worth 852 trillion stardusts a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,910 stardusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, politicians cheer the nation's surging death rate, and Brancalandian is the primary spoken language at most major tech companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astrologist's national animal is the spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Astrologist is ranked 127,017th in the world and 1,154th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Food Quality, scoring 18.43 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
