The Colony of Cygnus 050 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 4.847 billion Stargazers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cygnus 050ian economy, worth 186 trillion Saiphs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,473 Saiphs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Cygnus 050 is often a lifetime appointment, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygnus 050's national animal is the Bellatrix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cygnus 050 is ranked 312,754th in the world and 14,766th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 13.77 quips per hour.
