The Confederacy of Polaris Ventures is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Star population. The hard-working population of 457 million Polaris Venturesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The Polaris Venturesian economy, worth 21.5 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 46,940 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polaris Ventures's national animal is the Star.

Polaris Ventures is ranked 150,252^nd in the world and 3^rd in Stars for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 95.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
