The HOLIEST HOLY LAND of HOLYDIA is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MOST HOLY ARCHPRIEST-GOD Holyfa with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.147 billion Poobahs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Education and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The VERY HOLY Church of Holydia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient holy economy, worth a remarkable 4,744 trillion MOST HOLY ARCHPRIEST-GOD Holyfa Prayers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 425,609 MOST HOLY ARCHPRIEST-GOD Holyfa Prayers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, survivors receive aid from only the most environmentally-friendly transport, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and school guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. HOLYDIA's national animal is the HOLY but not as much as Holyfa BIRD, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The GREAT HOLYNESS.

HOLYDIA is ranked 310th in the world and 12th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 148.76 flags saluted per person per day.
