The Community of Stellar Career College is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 194 million Stellarites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong Stellarite economy, worth 10.7 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 55,271 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 199,873 per year while the poor average 10,907, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, military spending recently hit a new high, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is a problem. Stellar Career College's national animal is the Steller's jay.

Stellar Career College is ranked 240,640^th in the world and 512^th in California Colleges and Universities for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
