The Most Serene Republic of Reformed Hoffon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 242 million Hoffonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hoffonian economy, worth 3.09 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 12,763 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court TV ratings have skyrocketed now that executions are filmed on location, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and the number of judges has tripled in recent months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reformed Hoffon's national animal is the trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Reformed Hoffon is ranked 308,439th in the world and 3,628th in the West Pacific for Nudest, with 8 cheeks per square mile.
