The Republic of Honorias is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Glorious Advance with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.272 billion Honorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Congressional Ship Lawgiver. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Honorian economy, worth an astonishing 10,478 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 516,886 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,662,485 per year while the poor average 121,721, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
90% of active duty HAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, and military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Honorias's national animal is the hork bajir, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Veneration of the Ancestors.
Honorias is ranked 265,231st in the world and 22nd in The Universal Order of Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
