The Attempt at a Perfect Country of Stargate City is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Douglas HC Ferraz with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.281 billion Stargatians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singaijan. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stargatien economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion Crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 246,766 Crosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, Douglas HC Ferraz is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, and government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support'. Crime is totally unknown. Stargate City's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular State.

Stargate City is ranked 78,076^th in the world and 897^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.01 flags saluted per person per day.
