The High-toned SOB of Hugo Boss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Joseph Conrad with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.731 billion Hugo Bossians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castle Rock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hugo Bossian economy, worth a remarkable 5,927 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 239,695 Golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,071,788 per year while the poor average 4,531, a ratio of 457 to 1.

Pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, the comic book series 'Joseph Conrad and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hugo Boss's national animal is the ^-^, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Aubrey-Maturinism.

Hugo Boss is ranked 7,040th in the world and 1st in BLITZKRIEG for Most Stationary, with 2,789.9268255568 days.
