The Capital of Holtmimir is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, soft-spoken computers, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 26.446 billion Ratatekkers 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ratatasque economy, worth a remarkable 5,501 trillion ʝarls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 208,022 ʝarls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime is totally unknown. Holtmimir's national animal is the flying squirrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Holtmimir is ranked 5,271^st in the world and 1^st in Ratateague for Lowest Crime Rates, with 115.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
