The Matriarchy of Fera Stellarum is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 176 million Stellarums are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Stellarumish economy, worth 4.95 trillion Blooms a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,117 Blooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fera Stellarum's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fera Stellarum is ranked 161,501^st in the world and 361^st in Horizon for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,089.23 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
