The Republic of Hlyomahi is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yom Isamone with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.783 billion Hlyomahians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aihomle. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hlyomahian economy, worth 211 trillion omas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,926 omas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Hlyomahian bee, scientists spend more time enduring government inspections than they do on actual science, annual tax returns take at least two years to complete, and being Yom Isamone has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hlyomahi's national animal is the shrew, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Hlyomahi is ranked 6,452^nd in the world and 1^st in The Amazing Interuniverse Obezyiyaniya for Safest, scoring 127.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
