The REALITY of STAR on SKY is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.693 billion STARIES are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong STARIAN economy, worth 206 trillion Sky Stars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,829 Sky Stars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. STAR on SKY's national animal is the Sky Star -Mythical-, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

STAR on SKY is ranked 175,503^rd in the world and 1^st in Jammu for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
