The Holy Thiefdom of Hrotsijka is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Maxim Gromyko with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 38.917 billion Hrotsijkans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bryxoi. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hrotsijkan economy, worth a remarkable 8,255 trillion Aijks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 212,141 Aijks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and postcards from Hrotsijkan driving test centres are popular souvenirs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hrotsijka's national animal is the Hrotsijkan Ram, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gromykoism.

Hrotsijka is ranked 40,716th in the world and 4th in Gatesville Inc for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
