The Greater Federation of The 14 Stars is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Stark with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 10.461 billion Starsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polestar-City. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse 14 Starsian economy, worth 958 trillion Bells a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,633 Bells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriots insist that size does matter, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, and nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 14 Stars's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

The 14 Stars is ranked 39,358th in the world and 33rd in Esportiva for Safest, scoring 105.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
