The Constitutional Republic of Hollabackatcha is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Daenerys Targaryen with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 31.976 billion Hollabackatchians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mereen. The average income tax rate is 4.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Hollabackatchan economy, worth a remarkable 5,930 trillion Stirlings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 185,459 Stirlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Stirlings of property damage, bicyclists are banned from major roads, kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hollabackatcha's national animal is the Drogon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.
Hollabackatcha is ranked 7,799th in the world and 29th in Capitalist Paradise for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 460.41 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
