The Station Reconstruction of Deneb 4 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Groppler Zorn with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.171 billion Denebians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Bandi City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.6%.

The all-consuming Bandi economy, worth 649 trillion Federation Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 70,873 Federation Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,816 per year while the poor average 9,559, a ratio of 33.7 to 1.

Half-naked men feature prominently in official military materials, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, and excited Romeos drive all the way to the next village for a date. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Deneb 4's national animal is the Star Jelly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Deneb 4 is ranked 71,283^rd in the world and 52^nd in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Corrupt Governments, with 24.96 kickbacks per hour.
