The Republic of Starlight Rose is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.368 billion Starlight Roseans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Rosean economy, worth 282 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,302 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Starlight Rosean tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Rose's national animal is the moonlark.

Starlight Rose is ranked 167,415^th in the world and 2,621^st in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 599.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
