Starlight Hoth

The Blueberry Sherbet of Starlight Hoth is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.491 billion Starlight Hothians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Hothian economy, worth 472 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 135,344 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 394,248 per year while the poor average 36,735, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Binoculars sales are at an all-time high, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Starlight Hoth City, there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, and interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hoth's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starlight Hoth is ranked 30,645th in the world and 129th in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,641.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
