The Distributed Network of Starlight Gemini is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.619 billion Starlight Geminians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Geminian economy, worth 410 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,405 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Starlight Gemini City Airport's endless art maze, kindhearted Starlight Geminians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, and representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Gemini's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Gemini is ranked 50,598^th in the world and 322^nd in eta for Highest Average Incomes, with 113,405.66 Standard Monetary Units.
