The Republic of Starlit Guide is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.143 billion Hopeful Horizoners live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Starlit Guidean economy, worth 52.8 trillion Horizon Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 46,207 Horizon Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,809 per year while the poor average 2,896, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Starlit Guide's national animal is the Star Otter, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Starlit Guide is ranked 23,868^th in the world and 11^th in Horizon for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 95.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
