The Republic of Starrul is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.131 billion Starrulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.2%.

The strong Starrulian economy, worth 369 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 60,214 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,991 per year while the poor average 12,207, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.

Balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and phenotypic plasticity is a struggle for sealife in polluted waters. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starrul's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Starrul is ranked 301,870^th in the world and 43^rd in Lassa for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
