Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nomadic Peoples of Starburst Flares is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning bug population. Its hard-nosed population of 10.839 billion 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Retail, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery industries.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is moderate. Starburst Flares's national animal is the bug, and its currency is the kell.

Starburst Flares is ranked 9th in Sauron and 76,779th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 7 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
