The Kingdom of Horden is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jurou Nikola Columbia with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.066 billion Hordenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hordenapolis. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hordenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,364 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,132 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, vitriolic divorce proceedings have become prime-time television, Jurou Nikola Columbia's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horden's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Horden is ranked 109,515^th in the world and 5^th in New Western Empire for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.1 kickbacks per hour.
