The Armed Republic of Starship Boy is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 2.698 billion Starship Boyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Starship Boyian economy, worth 83.5 trillion forks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,948 forks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, citizens must pay to enjoy Starship Boy's pristine beaches, and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starship Boy's national animal is the Militarized Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starship Boy is ranked 80,789^th in the world and 5^th in Shots Puppets for Largest Black Market, with 4.25 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
