The Clock of Hickory Dickory Dock is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mickey with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.651 billion Hickory Dockians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rattow. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hickory Dickory Dockian economy, worth a remarkable 3,529 trillion Ryals a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 179,601 Ryals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, sports club owners are having a moneyball, and the 'no-coal' transition is being paid for in slashed student support funds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hickory Dickory Dock's national animal is the Black Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tockism.

Hickory Dickory Dock is ranked 313,014th in the world and 3,696th in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 0.99 Atheism Rate.
