The People's Republic of Hommeres is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Viscount Tyson Morris with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.801 billion Hommeresians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoshang. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hommeresian economy, worth a remarkable 1,331 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 151,233 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, surveillance cameras are banned, the government is flooded with compensation requests, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime is totally unknown. Hommeres's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Hommeres is ranked 38,568^th in the world and 30^th in Right to Life for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
