The Realist Nation of Honad is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Moureux with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 3.747 billion Honadis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lequoi Caverns. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Honadian economy, worth 452 trillion Kuks a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,739 Kuks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Lady Moureux, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Honad's national animal is the Octopuss, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Honad is ranked 11,009th in the world and 671st in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,691.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
