The Protectorate of Hobo3 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.655 billion Hobo3ians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hobo3 City. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Hobo3ian economy, worth 264 trillion Monies 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, highly specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 13,476 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hobo3's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hobo3's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hobo3 is ranked 178,235th in the world and 3,574th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 81.62485748228 days.
