The Federation of Star Konopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.015 billion Star Konopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ad Astra City. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Star Konopian economy, worth 57.3 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 56,475 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Posters on 'Star Konopian Values' advise against being proud of Star Konopia, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, and many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Konopia's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Star Konopia is ranked 282,218^th in the world and 315^th in Refugia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
