The Colony of Pisces 074 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.895 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Pisces 074ian economy, worth 165 trillion Starfleets a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,430 Starfleets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pisces 074's national animal is the ATAN, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pisces 074 is ranked 247,534th in the world and 11,591st in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 22.52 quips per hour.
