The Republic of Starlight Celestite is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.465 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Starlight Celestitean economy, worth 256 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,716 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, dinosaur cloners are fitted with Ankylosaurus monitors, and the government spares every expense for national defence. 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.

Starlight Celestite is ranked 256,895^th in the world and 6^th in Willow Farm for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.09 percentage of bribes refused.
