The United States of Hondura is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Roosevelt with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.492 billion Hondurans 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 Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Hondurans economy, worth a remarkable 1,551 trillion Imperial Yen a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,076 Imperial Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, President Roosevelt's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and charity workers dole out hardtack from behind designer sunglasses. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hondura's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Secular.
Hondura is ranked 75,713th in the world and 3rd in The Final Entente for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
