The Holy Island Kingdom of Holma is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Nestor Lilian II with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.769 billion Holmen 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angel's Wait. The average income tax rate is 88.2%.

The powerhouse Holman economy, worth 761 trillion Drumms a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,473 Drumms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, an enormous health awareness programme is underway, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Holma's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Holma is ranked 10,352^nd in the world and 546^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
