The Democratic States of Hoxers is a very large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 187 million Hoxersians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hoxersian economy, worth 7.54 trillion EUROS a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,337 EUROS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, war criminals are given full state funerals, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoxers's national animal is the Hawk.

Hoxers is ranked 242,560^th in the world and 4,597^th in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 398.07 milliStalins.
