The Republic of Starlight Hazel is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.44 billion Starlight Hazelians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Hazelian economy, worth 275 trillion lotuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,675 lotuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Hazel's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Hazel is ranked 18,670^th in the world and 3^rd in The Far Left for Most Developed, scoring 87.43 on the Human Development Index.
