The Colony of Cygnus 006 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.838 billion Stargazers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The thriving Cygnus 006ian economy, worth 400 trillion Saiphs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 82,717 Saiphs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygnus 006's national animal is the Bellatrix.

Cygnus 006 is ranked 237,926th in the world and 9,549th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
