The Emirate of Hobo1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 20.069 billion Hobo1ians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hobo1ian economy, worth 620 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 30,914 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, a major religion has been named as Hobo1's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Hobo1 in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hobo1's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hobo1 is ranked 77,189th in the world and 1,097th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 626.14163399132 days.
