The Partially-Active Republic of Hubdova is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kristofer Heikkinen with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.218 billion Hubdovans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hubdovan economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Hunovas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 178,676 Hunovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A flying elephant and Kristofer Heikkinen share the same nickname, Hubdova's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hubdova's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hubdova is ranked 310,300^th in the world and 334^th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,394.84 Standard Monetary Units.
