The Nomadic Peoples of Searching for an Honest Man is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 518 million Searching for an Honest Manians 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Searching for an Honest Manian economy, worth 19.0 trillion Lanterns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,750 Lanterns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the "Brave New World" program has caused private businesses to spring up faster than the East Lebatuck Wall, and some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them. Crime is totally unknown. Searching for an Honest Man's national animal is the Stray Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Searching for an Honest Man is ranked 59,486th in the world and 880th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
