The Blueberry Sherbet of Starlight Hoth is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.47 billion Starlight Hothians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Hothian economy, worth 468 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 135,112 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,141 per year while the poor average 35,701, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hoth's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starlight Hoth is ranked 211,623rd in the world and 3,131st in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
