The Republic of Starlight Phobos is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.339 billion Starlight Phobosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Phobosian economy, worth 281 trillion lotuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,219 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Phobos's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Phobos is ranked 58,997^th in the world and 475^th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,717.31 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
