Starfall Cay

The Insular Area of Starfall Cay is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory gun ownership. The cynical population of 2.013 billion Starfall Cayians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.3%.

The powerhouse Starfall Cayian economy, worth 164 trillion Island Dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 81,734 Island Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, gamblers often find their stakes burnt, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starfall Cay's national animal is the Island Doggo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Starfall Cay is ranked 106,977th in the world and 2nd in Skies for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,605.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
