“Liberty through Tranquility”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dominion of Hollibourn is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Bacon with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 16.325 billion Hollians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doneauxva. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hollish economy, worth a remarkable 2,364 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,831 Bottlecaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, tax avoidance is a serious affair, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hollibourn's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hollibourn is ranked 10,774^th in the world and 12^th in The Wellspring for Safest, scoring 120.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
