The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 163 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 7.606 billion Starlight Glimmer 163ians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Administration receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.5%.

The Starlight Glimmer 163ian economy, worth 335 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 44,096 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Starlight Glimmer 163, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 163's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Glimmer 163 is ranked 83,367th in the world and 613th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 571.0266137094 days.
