The Most Serene Republic of Starizontal Lines is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 337 million Starizontal Linesians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The strong Starizontal Linesian economy, worth 19.0 trillion Stardusts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 56,522 Stardusts, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", and many in Starizontal Lines are born in the purple. Crime is moderate. Starizontal Lines's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Starizontal Lines is ranked 165,025^th in the world and 2^nd in Candleflame Glow 74 for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 566.76 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
