The Republic of Holomictic is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 3.207 billion Holomicticians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.1%.

The strong Holomictician economy, worth 140 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 43,790 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Holomictic City Times is sold out, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, the government snoops on private internet connections, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holomictic's national animal is the shoop, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Holomictic is ranked 158,469^th in the world and 1^st in Tourmaline for Most Developed, scoring 55.37 on the Human Development Index.
