The State of Hobs is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.633 billion Hobsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The strong Hobsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,212 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, Hobs has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Hobs in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hobs's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hobs is ranked 101,502^nd in the world and 1^st in Amman for Most Conservative, scoring 66.6 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
