The Republic of Starlight Hyperion is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.42 billion Starlight Hyperionians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Hyperionian economy, worth 285 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 117,871 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hyperion's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Hyperion is ranked 43,815^th in the world and 431^st in eta for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,828.87 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
