The Republic of Starlight Jupiter is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 2.422 billion Starlight Jupiterians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.3%.

The all-consuming Starlight Jupiterian economy, worth 266 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,926 lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 336,315 per year while the poor average 27,831, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, high school bands practice by moonlight, and Starlight Jupiterian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Jupiter's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Jupiter is ranked 80,267^th in the world and 1^st in Holy John Three for Most Developed, scoring 67.32 on the Human Development Index.
