The Lifeblood Constellation of Amythist is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 738 million Starkeepers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora Bay. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Celestial economy, worth 75.5 trillion Geodusts 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 102,345 Geodusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, passengers often cause a stink on public transport, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime is totally unknown. Amythist's national animal is the Starlight Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Amythist is ranked 292,357^th in the world and 518^th in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.23 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
