The Federal Republic of Stjerne is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Striker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.421 billion Stjerneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utforsk. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Stjernean economy, worth a remarkable 6,294 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,244 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, "President Striker got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work. Crime is totally unknown. Stjerne's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stjerne is ranked 332,380^th in the world and 6^th in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
