Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Supreme Realm of Starrie is a massive, safe nation, ruled by vh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.994 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nexum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

Police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Starrie's national animal is the Darv, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Explodonism, and its currency is the Bit.

Starrie is ranked 1st in Kallisto and 2,953rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 10 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
