The Basket Weaving Factory State of Hoffania is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Unit 0001 with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.872 billion Robots 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Factories 1-397. The average income tax rate is 61.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Robotian economy, worth a remarkable 3,031 trillion 1s and 0s 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 160,610 1s and 0s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba, the default state for Hoffania is default, and tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hoffania's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of the Artificial Intelligence.

Hoffania is ranked 277,942^nd in the world and 2,049^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
