The Transnational Conglomerate of Starrden is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Board of Directors with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 5.218 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 49.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Starri economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 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 209,501 Grand Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,883,527 per year while the poor average 2,922, a ratio of 644 to 1.

After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, children have one piggy bank for fun and another to avoid crippling medical debt, one lone government employee can be seen hunting for the elusive stray white dog, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is a 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 10,938th in the world and 8th in 001 Alpha Prime for Highest Food Quality, scoring 155.13 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
