The Attempt at a Perfect Country of Stargate City is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Douglas HC Ferraz with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.234 billion Stargatians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singaijan. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Stargatien economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion Crosses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 252,381 Crosses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

It turns out you can teach cats new tricks, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime is totally unknown. Stargate City's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular State.

Stargate City is ranked 76,814^th in the world and 1,003^rd in the Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,186.9 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
