The Holy Empire of Great Hozendoff is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Grand Hozz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.52 billion Great Hozendoffians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hozengrad. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Great Hozendoffian economy, worth a remarkable 5,552 trillion Hozzes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 299,811 Hozzes, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

The term "Native Great Hozendoffian" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Hozendoff's national animal is the Meerkat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Hozzian Truth.

Great Hozendoff is ranked 239,177th in the world and 3,859th in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
