The Ruthless Winds of Starlight Antares is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.633 billion Starlight Antaresians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Antaresian economy, worth 418 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,111 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Antares's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Antares is ranked 62,680^th in the world and 3^rd in Puppetstorm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,620.26 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
