The Protectorate of Holnor is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8 million Holnorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Holnorian economy, worth 187 billion holus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,426 holus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holnor's national animal is the sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Holnor is ranked 307,942^nd in the world and 495^th in Starlight for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,174.28 Standard Monetary Units.
