The Brilliance of SunandStars is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Daddy G with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.011 billion Stars enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxele. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.7%.

The frighteningly efficient SunandStarsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,161 trillion Comets a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 239,893 Comets, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, torture is illegal, students abandon classrooms for online education, and the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament. Crime is totally unknown. SunandStars's national animal is the Quasar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SunandStars is ranked 66,904^th in the world and 2^nd in The Unholy Alliance for Largest Populations, with 9.01 billion capita.
