The Lifeblood Constellation of Amythist is a massive, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.192 billion Starkeepers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora Bay. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Celestial economy, worth 127 trillion Geodusts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 107,150 Geodusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime is totally unknown. Amythist's national animal is the Starlight Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Amythist is ranked 6,830^th in the world and 41^st in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 73.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
