The Galactic Empire of Holota is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Augustus Galacticus with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 1.817 billion Holotas 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holotapolis. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Holota economy, worth 321 trillion Koronas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,769 Koronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Passengers often cause a stink on public transport, the only science is political science, the nation leads the South Pacific for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, and the comic book series 'Augustus Galacticus and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holota's national animal is the Killer Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anti-Religion.

Holota is ranked 84,328^th in the world and 2,971^st in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 76.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
