The Republic of Starlight Amethyst is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.317 billion Starlight Amethystians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Amethystian economy, worth 258 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,569 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Amethyst's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Amethyst is ranked 144,713^th in the world and 2,251^st in eta for Safest, scoring 64.5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
