The four major powers in Mutter's Spiral were the Federation of Worlds, referred to informally as the Galactic Federation, which is run by a President; the Dalek Empire, ruled by Davros; the Cybermen, ruled by a Cyber-Emperor; and the Draconian Empire. Another major power was Josiah W. Dogbolter's Intra-Venus, Inc., a company rich enough to own Venus, Mars, and Jupiter.
Paper has become a highly rare and expensive commodity. The main currency is the mazuma.
Earth is said to be environmentally damaged and overrun with crime & chaos (see below).
Major events

- A key planet of Dogbolter's is lost to him, ruining his delicate economic balance, when a minor joke causes the local workers to start thinking and being creative. (BFA: The Maltese Penguin)
- Dogbolter advertises the Dogbolter Temporal Rocket, offering time-travel to private buyers. He sends Death's Head after the Doctor, with the Rocket rigged as a bomb, but is killed when the rocket goes off at Intra-Venus, Inc.'s HQ. (Death's Head #8: Time Bomb!)
Minor events

- Death's Head arrives in the year 8162. (DWM: The Crossroads of Time)
