The Republic of Starlight Daisy is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The cynical, devout population of 2.45 billion Starlight Daisyians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Daisyian economy, worth 297 trillion lotuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 121,094 lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,406 per year while the poor average 32,265, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, the average video game can be completed over lunch break, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Daisy's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Daisy is ranked 38,308^th in the world and 1^st in Xosnaequa for Smartest Citizens, with 49.99 quips per hour.
