The Republic socialist of Understar is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Perry Alinol with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 2.032 billion Understarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of andrew star. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Understarian economy, worth 295 trillion undes dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 145,590 undes dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Understar's national animal is the anomalies, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Understar is ranked 10,553^rd in the world and 234^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 89.22 Effective Tax Rate.
