The Queendom of Starlight Glimmer 244 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.442 billion Starlight Glimmer 244ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed.

Average income is 44,154 bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 139,557 per year while the poor average 10,666, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

The military struggles with recruitment, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, and years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Glimmer 244's national animal is the pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
