The Republic of House Party is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 7 million House Partyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case House Partyian economy, worth 88.4 billion Nubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 12,626 Nubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars are banned, only those who apply can study applied maths, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. House Party's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

House Party is ranked 143,346^th in the world and 68^th in The Toastic Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 467.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
