“I have no need for your worthless yellow star.”

The Scientific Curiosity of ChemosyntheticTubeworm is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 44.892 billion ChemosyntheticTubewormians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish ChemosyntheticTubewormian economy, worth 696 trillion sulfurs 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, highly specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. 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 15,513 sulfurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ChemosyntheticTubeworm's national animal is the Trieste, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ChemosyntheticTubeworm is ranked 94,052^nd in the world and 2^nd in Mariana Trench for Most Beautiful Environments, with 573.94 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
