Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Holilands is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by The Sovereign King with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.296 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marian. The average income tax rate is 60%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, Holilands has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holilands's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Catholicism, and its currency is the Dollar.

Holilands is ranked 427th in 10000 Islands and 13,285th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 20 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
