The Starlight of Stella-rium is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kano with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The humorless, devout population of 7.659 billion Stella-riumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stella-riumian economy, worth 870 trillion WS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,594 WS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Kano's hair. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stella-rium's national animal is the WS, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stella-rium is ranked 94,614^th in the world and 238^th in Stereo Hearts for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 43,847.43 Standard Monetary Units.
