The Colony of Lonely Light is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning kraken population. The quiet, industrious population of 4.038 billion Lonely Lightians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Lonely Lightian economy, worth 144 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,686 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lonely Light's national animal is the kraken, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Lonely Light is ranked 227,416^th in the world and 2,650^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Extreme, scoring 12.76 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
