The Republic of Starlight Celestite is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.303 billion Starlight Celestiteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Celestitean economy, worth 261 trillion lotuses 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 113,529 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Moonlarks that venture near secret military bases are shipped off to prison for espionage, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, the digital money revolution has cashed out, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Celestite's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Celestite is ranked 250,270^th in the world and 3,772^nd in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
