The Far-Fetched Musings of Starlight Coruscant is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.429 billion Starlight Coruscantians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Coruscantian economy, worth 399 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,484 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Starlight Coruscantian roads, it's a jungle out there, visitors to Starlight Coruscant are microchipped and must be escorted by a Starlight Coruscantian soldier - even to the bathroom, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Coruscant's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starlight Coruscant is ranked 42,561^st in the world and 233^rd in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,181.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
