The Mother's Kingdom of The Hope Hills is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Queen Luminara with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.038 billion Fairies are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luminara's Temple. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Luminaran economy, worth 54.0 trillion pebbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,371 pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funding for education has been redirected into the military, Amnesty Interregional has condemned The Hope Hills for ignoring crimes against humanity, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", and pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hope Hills's national animal is the ladybug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Hope Hills is ranked 81,758^th in the world and 2,865^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 834 billion Standard Monetary Units.
