The Kingdom of Hoyerlay is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Harold Lawson with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.202 billion Hoyerlayians 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, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rowigath. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hoyerlayian economy, worth 849 trillion bavomegems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 202,130 bavomegems, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,161,731 per year while the poor average 16,894, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoyerlay's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Hoyerlay is ranked 1,481^st in the world and 1^st in Hoyerlayian Grand Commonwealth for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 1.16 million Standard Monetary Units.
