The Republic of Star cluster is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.687 billion Star clusterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Star clusterian economy, worth 326 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,828 yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,702 per year while the poor average 3,060, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Star cluster's national animal is the raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Star cluster is ranked 179,181^st in the world and 1^st in Onitsuka Tomari for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
