The Long Cool Woman of The Hollies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Allan Clarke with a fair hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 25.326 billion Holliesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manchester. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Holliesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,607 trillion Bus Stops a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 260,907 Bus Stops, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on The Hollies, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hollies's national animal is the Black Dress, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

The Hollies is ranked 1,542nd in the world and 67th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 4,249.70561352 days.
