The Republic of Starlight Nebula is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.367 billion Starlight Nebulans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Nebulan economy, worth 264 trillion lotuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,839 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Starlight Nebulan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Nebula's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Nebula is ranked 52,646^th in the world and 360^th in eta for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 54,018.43 Standard Monetary Units.
