The Timey Wimey Adventurer of Dr Hooves is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Time Turner with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, triple-decker prams, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.625 billion Dr Hoovesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equestria. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Dr Hoovesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,977 trillion Hourglasses a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 280,221 Hourglasses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and having your heart stolen isn't as romantic as it sounds. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dr Hooves's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.
Dr Hooves is ranked 290,823rd in the world and 132nd in Equestria for Safest, scoring 2.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
