The Republic of Starlight Phobos is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. 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 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Phobosian economy, worth 286 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 122,646 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and the Starlight Phobos City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District. 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 65,673^rd in the world and 562^nd in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,557.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
