The Armed Republic of StellarGate is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Caitlyn StarNight with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23.526 billion Stellians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chionodoxa. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient StellarGatean economy, worth a remarkable 4,221 trillion Stelles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,433 Stelles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. StellarGate's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is International Church of the Stars.

StellarGate is ranked 6,835^th in the world and 362^nd in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 92.62 on the Human Development Index.
