The Republic of Lighthouse Sun is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.18 billion Lighthouse Sunians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Lighthouse Sunian economy, worth 95.7 trillion gold coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 43,905 gold coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,742 per year while the poor average 2,839, a ratio of 98.5 to 1.

The regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Lighthouse Sun's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Lighthouse Sun is ranked 310,132^nd in the world and 4,833^rd in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
