The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 20 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.947 billion Starlight Glimmer 20ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.5%.
The strong Starlight Glimmer 20ian economy, worth 518 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 65,301 bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,033 per year while the poor average 15,377, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
Some of the country's most famous photographers are animals, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 20's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 20 is ranked 214,213th in the world and 4,193rd in Artificial Solar System for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
