The Republic of Starlight Pluto is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.372 billion Starlight Plutoans 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Plutoan economy, worth 265 trillion lotuses a year, is 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 111,927 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

All government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, tweenage nobles order army regiments to do their homework for them, and edutainment video games are taking Starlight Pluto's students to the next level. 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 246,624^th in the world and 4,045^th in eta for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 28,429.52 Standard Monetary Units.
