The Kingdom of Hociouister is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 307 million Hociouisterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong Hociouisterian economy, worth 17.9 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,156 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,533 per year while the poor average 11,457, a ratio of 18.4 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the well-to-do in the Outback are never on time for important appointments, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hociouister's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hociouister is ranked 302,787^th in the world and 1,096^th in the Outback for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
