The Dumbfound Town of Hobbledehoy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.222 billion Hobbledehoyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hobbledehoyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,312 trillion De Hoys a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,059 De Hoys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the people of Hobbledehoy are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and referenda are held for every conceivable government action. Crime is totally unknown. Hobbledehoy's national animal is the Hobble, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hobbledehoy is ranked 68,180th in the world and 1st in Free Palestine for Most Stationary, with 695.1575064878 days.
