The Free communities of Star Konopia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.322 billion Star Konopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ad Astra City. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Star Konopian economy, worth 722 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 114,244 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and Ad Astra City spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime is totally unknown. Star Konopia's national animal is the Turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Star Konopia is ranked 10,918^th in the world and 44^th in Refugia for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
