The Prosperum Republicum of Stellar Order is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Cyril Rex with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.073 billion Stellarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Stellarian economy, worth 796 trillion Knughts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 195,594 Knughts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Prime Minister Cyril Rex's throne, people caught mistreating Stellar Order's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stellar Order's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Stellar Order is ranked 9,640^th in the world and 20^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 122 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
