The Republic of Starlight Opal is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.242 billion Starlight Opalians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Opalian economy, worth 212 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,915 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Opal's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Opal is ranked 59,790^th in the world and 428^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,692.05 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
