The Creator of Holly United is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Saxon Sepulveda with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.188 billion Saxonyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Holly Unitedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,324 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holly United's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Holly United is ranked 33,910th in the world and 18th in South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
