The Republic of Hortaleza is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.238 billion Hortalezans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hortalezan economy, worth 55.1 trillion euros a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,544 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hortaleza's national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hortaleza is ranked 95,218th in the world and 1st in Madrid ASR for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 50.97 Effective Tax Rate.
