The Republic socialist of Understar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Perry Alinol with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, devotion to social welfare, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.941 billion Understarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of andrew star. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Understarian economy, worth 274 trillion undes dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 141,658 undes dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses.

Understar's national animal is the anomalies, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.
