The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 103 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed population of 7.734 billion Starlight Glimmer 103ians 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 Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.6%.
The strong Starlight Glimmer 103ian economy, worth 478 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 61,879 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
No one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 103's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 103 is ranked 119,976th in the world and 1,094th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
