The Republic of Starlight Fluorite is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The devout population of 2.265 billion Starlight Fluoriteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.

The powerhouse Starlight Fluoritean economy, worth 268 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,608 lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 390,882 per year while the poor average 26,947, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, you're only as old as you feel, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, and former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Fluorite's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Fluorite is ranked 25,847th in the world and 317th in eta for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,944.6 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
