The Republic of Starlight Calcite is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 2.436 billion Starlight Calciteans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Calcitean economy, worth 276 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,260 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Calcite's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Calcite is ranked 302,463^rd in the world and 5^th in Northern Ameria for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -18 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
