The United States of Holmica is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holmica City. The average income tax rate is 65.5%.

Average income is an impressive 119,233 Holmican dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holmica's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
