The Moss Lands of Friendship of Homalia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by John Caratte with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.053 billion Homalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Homalia City. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Homalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,663 trillion Gold bars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,979 Gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war, finders keepers is the law of the land, survivors receive aid from only the most environmentally-friendly transport, and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Homalia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wira.

Homalia is ranked 133,684^th in the world and 1,920^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,418.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
