The Great State of Hozun is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Berunta So with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 859 million Hozunese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sau-chi. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hozunese economy, worth 96.9 trillion Hozunese dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,820 Hozunese dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hozun's national animal is the West Pacific tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hozun is ranked 81,259^th in the world and 1,082^nd in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 90.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
