The Republic of Starlight Fluorite is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The devout population of 2.451 billion Starlight Fluoriteans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Fluoritean economy, worth 304 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 123,899 lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,318 per year while the poor average 28,355, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Starlight Fluoriteans are shown the peaceful ways of free trade by force, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Starlight Fluorite's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Fluorite's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Fluorite is ranked 188,021^st in the world and 8^th in Grapological Region for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
