The Republic of Starlight Hazel is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 2.417 billion Starlight Hazelians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Hazelian economy, worth 264 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,419 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Starlight Hazelian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hazel's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Hazel is ranked 56,133^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Dominion Of The British Empire for Highest Average Incomes, with 109,419.28 Standard Monetary Units.
