The Republic of Starlight Enceladus is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 2.304 billion Starlight Enceladusians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Starlight Enceladusian economy, worth 255 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. 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 111,054 lotuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Enceladus's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Enceladus is ranked 249,162^nd in the world and 3,759^th in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
