The Empire Immaterial of Starkindler is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by HM Eva Evenstar with an even hand, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.668 billion Clanks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Omicron-Theta VII. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Clank economy, worth a remarkable 2,101 trillion Nationstates Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 242,422 Nationstates Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and late night talk show hosts are having a field day over HM Eva Evenstar's questionably sane new coalition partners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Starkindler's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Starkindler is ranked 293,430^th in the world and 10,457^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -12.07 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
