The Empire of Starkiller is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sith Lord Starkiller with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 25.937 billion Starkillerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Courscant. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Starkillerian economy, worth a remarkable 8,761 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 337,780 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, every workday begins with group therapy, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Courscant Rancors against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starkiller's national animal is the Rancor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Rule of One.

Starkiller is ranked 263,114^th in the world and 9,272^nd in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -203.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
