The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 54 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The cynical, devout population of 7.863 billion Starlight Glimmer 54ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Starlight Glimmer 54ian economy, worth 545 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,313 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of bits are being poured into a space program, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, and 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 54's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Starlight Glimmer 54 is ranked 74,942nd in the world and 327th in Artificial Solar System for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,871.83 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
