The Socialist Federation of The Violet Star is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mayna Clera with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.126 billion Starians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Violet. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starian economy, worth 420 trillion Iras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 134,473 Iras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, entomologists flock to Violet for its remarkable gadfly population, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Violet Star's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Polarinism.

The Violet Star is ranked 252,817^th in the world and 233^rd in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 7.3 Obesity Rate.
