The Dictatorship of Dr Light is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 2.825 billion Dr Lightians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The Dr Lightian economy, worth 130 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,099 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dr Light's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Dr Light is ranked 211,851^st in the world and 827^th in Alliance of Storage Power for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 292.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
