The Parent Company of Hollip is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the majority shareholder with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.084 billion shareholders enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Executive Conference Room 3. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hollish economy, worth an astonishing 11,153 trillion Capital Shares a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 397,149 Capital Shares, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", the internal market is thriving, baseball caps are the new fashion trend, and belief that the majority shareholder is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hollip's national animal is the unpaid intern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hollip is ranked 333,835^th in the world and 127^th in Lands End for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -43.59 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
