The Dictatorship of Hosoven is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 642 million Hosovenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hosovenian economy, worth 60.2 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,739 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hosoven's national animal is the T-Posing Spaghetti Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hosoven is ranked 103,796^th in the world and 3,794^th in The East Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 71.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
