The Theocracy of Holy Bones is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.055 billion Holybones 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Booty Bay. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Holy Bonesian economy, worth 108 trillion Goldbones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 102,873 Goldbones, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 780,297 per year while the poor average 3,787, a ratio of 206 to 1.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and immigrant teachers use fat stacks of cash as teaching aids. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Holy Bones's national animal is the Skullbone Whiffer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Holy Bones is ranked 310,090^th in the world and 1,109^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -12.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
