The Blinding Lights of Fire and Stars is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 12.79 billion Fire and Starsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fire and Starsian economy, worth 604 trillion marks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,275 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fire and Stars's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fire and Stars is ranked 20,832nd in the world and 5th in Markion for Most Stationary, with 1,582.16282074848 days.
