The Attempt at a Perfect Country of Stargate City is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Douglas HC Ferraz with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.208 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singaijan. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stargatien economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion Crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 255,507 Crosses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

News headlines usually include p-values, flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, many in Stargate City are born in the purple, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. 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 5,740^th in the world and 117^th in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,608.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
