The Shooting Stars of Kyskalherria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Our Beloved Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.824 billion Kyskalherrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koruskant. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kyskalherrian economy, worth a remarkable 3,333 trillion meteorites a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,176 meteorites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, college-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship, and Our Beloved Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyskalherria's national animal is the kinkajou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Violet.
Kyskalherria is ranked 21,612th in the world and 1st in Big Island for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
