The Transnational Conglomerate of Starrden is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Board of Directors with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.12 billion Starris are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sungva. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Starri economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Grand Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 209,512 Grand Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,883,768 per year while the poor average 2,920, a ratio of 645 to 1.

A video of Board of Directors wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and many believe that the only good Pauzo Wolf is a dead Pauzo Wolf. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Starrden's national animal is the Pauzo Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Invisible Hand of the Market.

Starrden is ranked 265,581st in the world and 68th in 001 Alpha Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
