The Democratic States of Hoxers is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 404 million Hoxersians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hoxersian economy, worth 17.6 trillion EUROS a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 43,590 EUROS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, war criminals are given full state funerals, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoxers's national animal is the Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Hoxers is ranked 240,307^th in the world and 4,101^st in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 495.09 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
