The Federal Republic of Stjerne is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Striker with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.352 billion Stjerneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utforsk. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Stjernean economy, worth a remarkable 6,269 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,914 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billion-Credit sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and glamping Stjerneans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime is totally unknown. Stjerne's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stjerne is ranked 326,547^th in the world and 6^th in Federation of Planets Headquarters for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
