The Matriarchy of Fera Stellarum is a large, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 118 million Stellarums 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Stellarumish economy, worth 3.41 trillion Blooms a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,918 Blooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Jellyfish is one of the most popular forenames in Fera Stellarum, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fera Stellarum's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fera Stellarum is ranked 297,430^th in the world and 659^th in Horizon for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,702.93 Standard Monetary Units.
