The Holy Pink Christmas of Holy Light is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.825 billion Slav to the Lights are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped a child of the Light economy, worth 149 trillion Candy Canes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 52,872 Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Santa Claus's desk, kids feel more beat up than ever after a hard day at school, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Holy Light's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tha Holy Church of Light.

Holy Light is ranked 325,127^th in the world and 353^rd in Sertia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.3 average smiles per day.
