The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 22 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.065 billion Starlight Glimmer 22ians 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 enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.9%.

The Starlight Glimmer 22ian economy, worth 391 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, Tourism, 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 48,500 bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 140,664 per year while the poor average 13,244, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 22's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Glimmer 22 is ranked 33,840^th in the world and 206^th in Artificial Solar System for Safest, scoring 107.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
