The Colony of HNC is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.758 billion HNCians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong HNCian economy, worth 725 trillion Hyns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 67,449 Hyns, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is Shinka's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", and pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. HNC's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

HNC is ranked 51,103^rd in the world and 2^nd in Shinka for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,652.44 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
