The Constitutional Monarchy of Mare Stellarum is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by I'm the captain now with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.294 billion Mare Stellarians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mare Stellarumian economy, worth 262 trillion Stellars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,580 Stellars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, all recreational drugs are legal, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mare Stellarum's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None of that bs.

Mare Stellarum is ranked 18,137^th in the world and 142^nd in Refugia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,092.35 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
