The Nomadic Peoples of The Constellations is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Constance Wright with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.675 billion Constellationsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stargazer Central. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Constellationsian economy, worth 129 trillion Star Pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,400 Star Pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in The Constellations, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and Constance Wright lives life on the open road - complete with groupies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Constellations's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Constellations is ranked 63,019^th in the world and 36^th in Declansburg for Nudest, with 197.75 cheeks per square mile.
