The Matriarchy of Hobo5 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 20.974 billion Hobo5ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Public Transport, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hobo5ian economy, worth 665 trillion Monies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,744 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hobo5's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and main battle tanks stalk the woods of Hobo5 in search of Spiders. Crime is almost non-existent. Hobo5's national animal is the Spider, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hobo5 is ranked 163,440th in the world and 2nd in Fixolasbasiquex for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
