The Republic of Honorias is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Glorious Advance with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.371 billion Honorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Environment and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Congressional Ship Lawgiver. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Honorian economy, worth an astonishing 10,336 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 507,414 credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,632,021 per year while the poor average 119,490, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Nations across the world are quick to praise President Glorious Advance's good looks and intellectual prowess, any machine that shows any glimmer of intelligence is scrapped for parts, President Glorious Advance is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, and wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Honorias's national animal is the hork bajir, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Veneration of the Ancestors.

Honorias is ranked 245th in the world and 2nd in The Universal Order of Nations for Most Corrupt Governments, with 805.88 kickbacks per hour.
