The People's Republic of Horbany is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 691 million Horbanyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 45.7%.

The thriving Horbanyian economy, worth 54.9 trillion Territorial Talers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,395 Territorial Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, and Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horbany's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Horbany is ranked 89,086^th in the world and 3^rd in Ixnay Farm System for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,395.19 Standard Monetary Units.
