The Kingdom of Hollmark is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 36 million Hollmarkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hollmarkian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,573 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hollmark's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hollmark is ranked 72,063^rd in the world and 1,296^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 39.44 quips per hour.
