The Parent Company of Hollip

“If you can't beat them, buy them.”

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

The Parent Company of Hollip is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the majority shareholder with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 26.507 billion shareholders enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Executive Conference Room 3. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hollish economy, worth an astonishing 10,646 trillion Capital Shares a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 401,647 Capital Shares, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, orange trees find it's not easy being green, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and the only record being broken at sporting events is the highest death toll. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hollip's national animal is the unpaid intern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hollip is ranked 293,797^th in the world and 199^th in Lands End for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
