The Starships of StarArmy is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Himiko I with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.744 billion Yamataians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyoto. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Yamataian economy, worth a remarkable 2,586 trillion KS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,724 KS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. StarArmy's national animal is the Nekovalkyrja, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

StarArmy is ranked 19,772^nd in the world and 1^st in Tareldanore for Safest, scoring 114.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
