The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 147 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 7.684 billion Starlight Glimmer 147ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.
The very strong Starlight Glimmer 147ian economy, worth 494 trillion bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,326 bits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,174 per year while the poor average 7,120, a ratio of 45.5 to 1.
Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 147's national animal is the pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Starlight Glimmer 147 is ranked 152,537th in the world and 1,764th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
