The Kingdom of Sterling Star is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ambassador with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, devout population of 23.195 billion Starians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Star City. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sterling Starian economy, worth a remarkable 1,921 trillion shillings a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,852 shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sterling Star's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sterling Star is ranked 55,699^th in the world and 29^th in Scandinavia for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
