The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 109 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The devout population of 7.781 billion Starlight Glimmer 109ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Starlight Glimmer 109ian economy, worth 500 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,260 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 109's national animal is the pony, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Starlight Glimmer 109 is ranked 136,500th in the world and 1,764th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 228.9292632074 days.
