The Federal Republic of The Horizon Federation is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 588 million Horizonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Horizon City. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Horizonian economy, worth 33.8 trillion Horizon Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,415 Horizon Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The THFBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in New Horizon City for fear of causing a fuss, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Horizon Federation's national animal is the Common Horizon Crab.

The Horizon Federation is ranked 31,539^th in the world and 681^st in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 889.82 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
