The Dictatorship of Hokidao is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 673 million Hokidaoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 33.6%.
The Hokidaoan economy, worth 33.6 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,901 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Parents ask their ten-year-olds for help with their government-mandated book reports, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, everyone apparently sends Leader hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child, and seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Hokidao's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Hokidao is ranked 4,348th in the world and 192nd in Balder for Nudest, with 1,203.25 cheeks per square mile.
