The Republic of Homali is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Bennett with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.986 billion Homalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dakota. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Homalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion Homalian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,251 Homalian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Homali's national animal is the Sea Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Homali is ranked 208,544th in the world and 5,445th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 38.1299755968 days.
