The Diseased Feculence of Hopital is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 9.133 billion Hopitalians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 57.2%.

The very strong Hopitalian economy, worth 567 trillion Donations a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,128 Donations, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space, policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, and government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hopital's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hopital is ranked 64,830^th in the world and 3,634^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,981.34 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
