The Republic of Starlight Quasar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.421 billion Starlight Quasarians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.0%.

The powerhouse Starlight Quasarian economy, worth 235 trillion lotuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,002 lotuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,411 per year while the poor average 19,518, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, black gold is looking more brown these days, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Quasar's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Quasar is ranked 93,330^th in the world and 815^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 63.43 on the Human Development Index.
