Star City, formerly known as Starling City, is a major city in the United States of America. It is home to several important businesses and corporations such as Queen Consolidated, Palmer Technologies and Merlyn Global Group. Despite being a thriving metropolis, Star City is rife with poverty, crime and corruption. It is mentioned to have a population of 576,000 people, though this number has presumably fluctuated following several terrorist attacks on the city. It is located approximately 600 miles from Central City.
