The Better than Megatron of Starscream is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, devout population of 8.942 billion decepticons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.

The very strong Starscream economy, worth 496 trillion energons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 55,498 energons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,023 per year while the poor average 6,350, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, military spending recently hit a new high, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime is moderate. Starscream's national animal is the scraplet, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Starscream is ranked 208,901^st in the world and 1,664^th in The catholic military orders for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,514.39 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
