The Long Cool Woman of The Hollies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Allan Clarke with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 25.573 billion Holliesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manchester. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Holliesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,677 trillion Bus Stops a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 261,120 Bus Stops, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, a flying elephant and Allan Clarke share the same nickname, merchant ships always travel line astern in Holliesian waters, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hollies's national animal is the Black Dress, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

The Hollies is ranked 275,006^th in the world and 377^th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.23 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
