The United Socialist States of Hoqeallistan is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.903 billion Hoqeallis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ahunabayev. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The all-consuming Hoqeal economy, worth 523 trillion Gekonis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,862 Gekonis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and the nation wears its high incidence of chromosomal diseases as a badge of pride. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoqeallistan's national animal is the skink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hoqeallistan is ranked 4,124^th in the world and 36^th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 134.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
