The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 77 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The devout population of 7.812 billion Starlight Glimmer 77ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Starlight Glimmer 77ian economy, worth 312 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,963 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
People who have lived their entire lives in Starlight Glimmer 77 are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 77's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 77 is ranked 289,707th in the world and 4,926th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -13.64 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
