The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 194 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.791 billion Starlight Glimmer 194ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Starlight Glimmer 194ian economy, worth 355 trillion bits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,388 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, misbehaving ponies deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 194's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 194 is ranked 117,164th in the world and 6,010th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,021.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
