The Republic of Hopland is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.631 billion Hoplandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.
The thriving Hoplandian economy, worth 94.7 trillion claxons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,055 claxons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,498 per year while the poor average 11,842, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hopland's national animal is the Snackbar Hopland, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Hopland is ranked 169,765th in the world and 128th in Eurth for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,566.4 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
