The Kingdom of Holt-Fort is a huge, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 532 million Holtfortians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polarys Holtfort. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The powerhouse Holt-Fortian economy, worth 51.0 trillion Coronas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 95,831 Coronas, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, postcards from Holt-Fortian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and Holt-Fort has designated Polarys Holtfort as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holt-Fort's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Holt-Fort is ranked 84,675th in the world and 1,483rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,965.65 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
