The Rogue Nation of The Horror Channel is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ringo Juna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 36.817 billion Horror Channelians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ringovania. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Horror Channelian economy, worth a remarkable 5,314 trillion Brains a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,337 Brains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the Horror Channelian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Horror Channel's national animal is the Free-range Zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is no such thing.

The Horror Channel is ranked 4,871st in the world and 110th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 131.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
