The Perpetual Revolution of Hulldom is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Dowell Hartley with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.861 billion Hulldomians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nansemond. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hulldomian economy, worth a remarkable 3,729 trillion Great Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 314,432 Great Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Dowell Hartley's most personal functions, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime is totally unknown. Hulldom's national animal is the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hulldomianism.

Hulldom is ranked 632nd in the world and 1st in Blue Ridge for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 6,159.11 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
