The Kingdom of Hofflands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by PM Domechoshi Jinzo with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 10.042 billion Hofish are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gechoshi. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hofflandsian economy, worth 831 trillion Hofish Dafus a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,807 Hofish Dafus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state, getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Hofflands, and the nation is noticeably more cheerful on Tuesdays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hofflands's national animal is the Hofish Bird, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Hofflands is ranked 112,811th in the world and 2nd in Zen Buddhism for Most Stationary, with 352.56305213728 days.
