The Provost of Honourbound is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Gharkost with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.525 billion Honourbound are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stratao. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Honourbound economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion venariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 228,120 venariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, contestants on Honourbound's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and patriots insist that size does matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Honourbound's national animal is the Thunderbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Honourbound is ranked 2,160^th in the world and 72^nd in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 137.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
