The Timey Wimey Adventurer of Dr Hooves is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Time Turner with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.119 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equestria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Dr Hoovesian economy, worth 902 trillion Hourglasses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,159 Hourglasses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 649,708 per year while the poor average 58,030, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.
The nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, manufacturers are sued for almost anything not covered in their catalogue-sized manuals, and anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 41,657th in the world and 12th in Equestria for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 11.2 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
