The Federation of Star Konopia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.044 billion Star Konopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ad Astra City. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Star Konopian economy, worth 58.0 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 55,512 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Leader day after day, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Konopia's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Star Konopia is ranked 14,687th in the world and 110th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,432.45 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
