The Democratic States of Starllis is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 526 million Starllisians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galacticia. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The thriving Starllisian economy, worth 41.7 trillion Stars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,254 Stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, the government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and insanely good theatre productions face government censorship. Crime is totally unknown. Starllis's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starllis is ranked 215,693^rd in the world and 169^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
