The Militaristic Republic of Star Winter is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Draco Rex with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.549 billion Star Winterians 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 large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 4 Seasons. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Star Winterian economy, worth 248 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,606 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

They say that Star Winterians made a dessert and called it peace, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, accusations of corruption stick when the accused are long-gone, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Winter's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Star Winter is ranked 230,288^th in the world and 5,174^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 5.59 average smiles per day.
