The Oppressed Peoples of Horiscia is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.325 billion Horiscians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 20.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Horiscian economy, worth 397 trillion Trilas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,550 Trilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, replacement organs are grown in vats, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Horiscia's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Horiscia is ranked 25,842^nd in the world and 1,407^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,009.55 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
