The Republic of Hoola- is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 263 million Hoola-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hoola-ian economy, worth 3.42 trillion monsters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,014 monsters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hoola-ians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and polygamy is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoola-'s national animal is the coin.

Hoola- is ranked 201,929th in the world and 469th in Giovanniland for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 300.22 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
