The Militaristic Republic of Star Winter is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Draco Rex with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.684 billion Star Winterians 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 Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 4 Seasons. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Star Winterian economy, worth 289 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,883 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Winter's national animal is the Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Star Winter is ranked 166,010^th in the world and 3,722^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
