The Republic of Starlight Daffodil is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.457 billion Starlight Daffodilians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.0%.

The all-consuming Starlight Daffodilian economy, worth 233 trillion lotuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,629 lotuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,751 per year while the poor average 12,868, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, agricultural employees work for peanuts, and cops with assault weaponry are forcing their way into private homes to search for terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Daffodil's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Daffodil is ranked 41,341^st in the world and 1^st in The Inpherno for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,695.04 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
