The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 155 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.674 billion Starlight Glimmer 155ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.1%.
The strong Starlight Glimmer 155ian economy, worth 489 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,843 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
Reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 155's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 155 is ranked 110,288th in the world and 891st in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
