The Emirate of Star Post is a fledgling, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5 million Star Postians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.
The Star Postian economy, worth 183 billion Marchss a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 36,629 Marchss, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Star Post's national animal is the Bear.
