The Republic of Starlight Jasper is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.457 billion Starlight Jasperians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Jasperian economy, worth 263 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,208 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, there's a bright dawn ahead for Starlight Jasper, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Jasper's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Jasper is ranked 286,358^th in the world and 5^th in The Empire of Enlightenment for Most Secular, with 8.96 Atheism Rate.
