The Republic of Hoozuki Warabe is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.941 billion Hoozuki Warabeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hoozuki Warabean economy, worth 475 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,165 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoozuki Warabe's national animal is the ningen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hoozuki Warabe is ranked 94,973^rd in the world and 364^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 971.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
