The Federation of The Daystar Isles is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 609 million Daystar Islians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shining Heart. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Daystar Islian economy, worth 52.6 trillion doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 86,409 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Daystar Isles's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Daystar Isles is ranked 51,959^th in the world and 43^rd in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
