The Multicolored World of Christmas Lights is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.867 billion Christmas Lightsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Candy Cane Lane. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Christmas Lightsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,665 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 140,365 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, and the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christmas Lights's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christmas.

Christmas Lights is ranked 24,311^th in the world and 10^th in Christmas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
