The Republic of Starlight Malachite is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, digital currency, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.419 billion Starlight Malachiteans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.7%.

The powerhouse Starlight Malachitean economy, worth 268 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 110,820 lotuses, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, and billions of lotuses are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Malachite's national animal is the moonlark.

Starlight Malachite is ranked 225,592^nd in the world and 6^th in Ashroxem for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 280.82 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
