The Republic of Republic of the Soulless Hord is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Soulless with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.262 billion hordeians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Hord. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Republic of the Soulless Hordian economy, worth 222 trillion Looneys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,086 Looneys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mechanics are often exhausted by their work, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of the Soulless Hord's national animal is the Loon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of The Unknown.

Republic of the Soulless Hord is ranked 28,053^rd in the world and 1,017^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 19.56 average smiles per day.
