The Terror From The Beyond of Sky of Stars is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 36.808 billion Starsians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sky of Stars economy, worth a remarkable 4,716 trillion Stars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 128,138 Stars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 510,267 per year while the poor average 21,675, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

Teenage fathers are forced to join the army, children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sky of Stars's national animal is the Starflyer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sky of Stars is ranked 146,978^th in the world and 53^rd in Christmas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
