The Dimly Lit Dreams of Starlight Taurus is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.763 billion Starlight Taurusians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Starlight Taurusian economy, worth 471 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,193 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, there's nothing more Starlight Taurusian than revanchism, the government spares every expense for national defence, and even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starlight Taurus's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Starlight Taurus is ranked 40,104^th in the world and 2^nd in International Network of Nations for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 6,124.94 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
