The Protectorate of Hosketan is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 824 million Hosketanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Hosketanian economy, worth 40.1 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,611 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hosketan's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Hosketan is ranked 239,592nd in the world and 13,020th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 18.52 Effective Tax Rate.
