The Sky of Lost Stars is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Louise Stargazer with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 9.066 billion Stars 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, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Universe. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The Star economy, worth 450 trillion Stadts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,705 Stadts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, Star politicians are often described as having more style than substance, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost Stars's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Astronomy.

Lost Stars is ranked 127,199^th in the world and 24^th in Jyzeria for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
