The Inlustris of Rigels Light is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andromeda with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.025 billion Rigelians 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, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alnilam. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Rigelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,130 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,976 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, and Andromeda's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rigels Light's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rigels Light is ranked 194,609th in the world and 4,583rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 54.78449966012 days.
