The Free Land of Starsight is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 1.504 billion Starseers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heavensblaze. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Starsighted economy, worth 142 trillion starcrowns a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,044 starcrowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, robosexual marriages are increasingly common, and the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starsight's national animal is the thanestork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Starsight is ranked 30,123rd in the world and 1,720th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 80 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
