The Republic of Bright Stars is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.377 billion Bright Starsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright Stars City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Bright Starsian economy, worth a remarkable 7,278 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 340,462 Euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,144,428 per year while the poor average 3,633, a ratio of 865 to 1.

Private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, people say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Bright Stars City Times is sold out, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bright Stars's national animal is the Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Bright Stars is ranked 288,071^st in the world and 4^th in Delta for Most Primitive, scoring -524.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
