The Proletarian Dictatorship of Hosavan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Urystelig Mand with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.722 billion Hosavans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhanianngrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hosavan economy, worth 564 trillion Hosan Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 207,404 Hosan Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 825,912 per year while the poor average 35,083, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Hosavan as 'your finger, you fool', citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hosavan's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maxism.

Hosavan is ranked 35,922^nd in the world and 96^th in The Western Isles for Most Beautiful Environments, with 744.25 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
