The People's Republic of Starriville is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.287 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starriville City. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

Colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, torture is illegal, artists are pillars of society, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime is totally unknown. Starriville's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Wang.

Starriville is ranked 370th in Spiritus and 119,868th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 6 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
