The Attempt at a Perfect Country of Stargate City is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Douglas HC Ferraz with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.514 billion Stargatians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal 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 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stargatien economy, worth a remarkable 1,388 trillion Crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 251,875 Crosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. 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 296,099^th in the world and 3,322^nd in the Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 342.51 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
