The Omen from Far Above of Starlight Cassiopeia is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.712 billion Starlight Cassiopeians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Cassiopeian economy, worth 448 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,894 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends millions of bitcoins every year prosecuting spammers, holy matrimony has been wedded to an unwieldy bureaucracy, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and Starlight Cassiopeian dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Cassiopeia's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Cassiopeia is ranked 44,244th in the world and 238th in eta for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.44 Effective Tax Rate.
