The Dominion of Hollibourn is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Marshal Bacon with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 17.609 billion Hollians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doneauxva. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hollish economy, worth a remarkable 2,441 trillion Bottlecaps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,644 Bottlecaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hollibourn's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hollibourn is ranked 4,106th in the world and 4th in Covenant Shores for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 8,764.11 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
