The Republic of Holdens Way is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed population of 21.138 billion Holdens Wayians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.1%.

The all-consuming Holdens Wayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,544 trillion bricks a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,048 bricks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, and confusing advertising has left citizens unsure if cults will either welcome them or try to kill them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holdens Way's national animal is the molotov, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Holdens Way is ranked 99,412^th in the world and 1^st in Leavenworth Kansas for Most Secular, with 17.37 Atheism Rate.
