The Community of Huo Rage Ham is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 307 million Huo Rage Hamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Huo Rage Hamian economy, worth 11.4 trillion stuffs 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. 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 37,013 stuffs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Huo Rage Ham's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Huo Rage Ham is ranked 104,696th in the world and 1,781st in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,425.21 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
