The Dimly Lit Dreams of Starlight Andromeda is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.728 billion Starlight Andromedans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Andromedan economy, worth 436 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,994 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all products in Starlight Andromeda are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Andromeda's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starlight Andromeda is ranked 41,277^th in the world and 230^th in eta for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,912.5 Standard Monetary Units.
