The Plutocratic Principalities of Honeydewistania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Princess Emily with an iron fist, and renowned for its enforced nudity, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.227 billion Honeydewistanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honeydewopolis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Honeydewistanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,483 trillion husks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 366,681 husks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,417,867 per year while the poor average 3,510, a ratio of 973 to 1.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, adults hang around outside comic stores to ask kids to go and buy magazines for them, and legions of police officers force people to move into massive urban apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Honeydewistania's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is phony Beatlemania.

Honeydewistania is ranked 728th in the world and 1st in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 12,144.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
