The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 105 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.85 billion Starlight Glimmer 105ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Starlight Glimmer 105ian economy, worth 375 trillion bits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,823 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, the ban on cars has been repealed, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 105's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Starlight Glimmer 105 is ranked 104,610th in the world and 1,629th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,218.75 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
