The Armed Republic of Star Splinter is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Splinters are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.9%.

The very strong Star Splinterian economy, worth 3.23 trillion Etheriums a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,669 Etheriums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, sex changes are routinely performed at Star Splinter's hospitals, and fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Splinter's national animal is the Sea Angel, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Star Splinter is ranked 171,324^th in the world and 940^th in the Plains of Perdition for Fattest Citizens, with 9.74 Obesity Rate.
