The Dictatorship of Hope Action and Change is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Comrade OBama with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.078 billion Hope Action and Changeans 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 Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Martha's Vineyard. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hope Action and Changean economy, worth 541 trillion Obama Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 89,140 Obama Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military has gone fission for more funding, the HAACBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Obama Dollar mansions, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hope Action and Change's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Maoism.

Hope Action and Change is ranked 137,929^th in the world and 94^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,015.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
