The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 89 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 7.822 billion Starlight Glimmer 89ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Starlight Glimmer 89ian economy, worth 272 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 Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Retail. 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 34,889 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 89's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 89 is ranked 139,548th in the world and 1,973rd in Artificial Solar System for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 102.5 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
