The Colony of Hongajo is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Beauregard Jones-Rodrigo with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.556 billion Hongajoans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barbarossa. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Hongajoan economy, worth 171 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,968 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
A punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, Hongajoan husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and crime pays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hongajo's national animal is the alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Hongajo is ranked 284,005th in the world and 57th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Pacifist, with 12.17 cheeks turned per day.
