The Republic of Starlight Pluto is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.235 billion Starlight Plutoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Plutoan economy, worth 249 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,673 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Pluto's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Starlight Pluto is ranked 48,373^rd in the world and 294^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 77.72 on the Human Development Index.
