The State of Holness is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.573 billion Holnessians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The thriving Holnessian economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,539 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,606 per year while the poor average 13,980, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, and Holness has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Holness's national animal is the deer.

Holness is ranked 264,877th in the world and 509th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
