The Timey Wimey Adventurer of Dr Hooves is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Time Turner with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.964 billion Dr Hoovesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equestria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dr Hoovesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,737 trillion Hourglasses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 422,015 Hourglasses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,430,719 per year while the poor average 91,914, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dr Hooves's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Dr Hooves is ranked 257,828th in the world and 82nd in Equestria for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.55 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
