The Tough love we came to expect of De hork is a massive, safe nation, ruled by a Ikharul a Dede-dede with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.999 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a Aboderh Ikhak. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, theoretical science is only theoretical, and hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. De hork's national animal is the Bo'i Borulukh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a Khe'e Boturukh, and its currency is the Derhkhe.

De hork is ranked 86th in The Axis of Evil and 119,994th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -1,500 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
