The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 48 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The hard-working population of 7.922 billion Starlight Glimmer 48ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.4%.
The strong Starlight Glimmer 48ian economy, worth 324 trillion bits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,913 bits, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.
The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 48's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 48 is ranked 116,119th in the world and 1,253rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.37 kickbacks per hour.
