The Republic of Starlight Pluto is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.531 billion Starlight Plutoans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Plutoan economy, worth 289 trillion lotuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,185 lotuses, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Several inches are being added to first class seating, panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies, homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, and fans doing the wave routinely disrupt the finals of Go tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Pluto's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Pluto is ranked 282,785^th in the world and 5,833^rd in eta for Most Politically Free, scoring 15.43 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
