The Kingdom of Horf is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 275 million Horfers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The thriving Horfian economy, worth 20.4 trillion Shackls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 74,130 Shackls, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Leader's political rallies, and it is said that a Horfian woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horf's national animal is the Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Horf is ranked 260,138^th in the world and 684^th in Horizon for Nudest, with 60.75 cheeks per square mile.
