The Commonwealth of Stellar Coast is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Kyrell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 2.075 billion Stellar Coastians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Llanic. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Stellar Coastian economy, worth 54.3 trillion dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 26,153 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nations that kill a Stellar Coastian can expect a strongly worded letter, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, poverty is disloyal to the Motherland, and the number of children one can have is restricted by law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stellar Coast's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Stellar Coast is ranked 229,472nd in the world and 7,038th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 24.98385901032 days.
