“Time waits for none of us.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Socialist States of Stella Rimor is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 342 million Nautis Stellas love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Stella Rimorian economy, worth 13.2 trillion stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 38,537 stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Stella Rimor's radio stations, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Stella Rimorian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stella Rimor's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stella Rimor is ranked 210,631^st in the world and 392^nd in Conch Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.53 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
