The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.85 billion Lightians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The Lightian economy, worth 354 trillion kamas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,709 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, a major religion has been named as Light's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Light in an international press conference, and Light has designated Light City as its capital city.
