The Hospitable Host of Starlit Guam is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stevist Guam with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.745 billion Steguanians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoshi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The powerhouse Starlit Guamian economy, worth 130 trillion Luna Hypeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 74,786 Luna Hypeses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,126 per year while the poor average 14,617, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

All prisons have been eliminated, the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Starlit Guam's national animal is the Otter Here Otters, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Starlit Guam is ranked 5,965th in the world and 5th in Starlight for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 9,728.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
