The Republic of Starlight Hyacinth is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.358 billion Starlight Hyacinthians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Starlight Hyacinthian economy, worth 241 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,354 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hyacinth's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Hyacinth is ranked 62,898^th in the world and 494^th in eta for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 50,972.69 Standard Monetary Units.
