The Empire of The Bronze Star is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Jebediah Quail with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.485 billion Bronze Starians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oasis City. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bronze Starian economy, worth a remarkable 1,314 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 202,656 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is totally unknown. The Bronze Star's national animal is the Gila monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Church of the Bronze Star.

The Bronze Star is ranked 2,978^th in the world and 49^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,407.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
