The Music of Million star is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.428 billion Million starians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.
The thriving Million starian economy, worth 644 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,232 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
Military spending is on the increase, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and Million star Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Million star's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Million star is ranked 33,141st in the world and 63rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Corrupt Governments, with 65.67 kickbacks per hour.
