The Republic of Homul is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.738 billion Homulians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Maria. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Homulian economy, worth 609 trillion Phulks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 162,945 Phulks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Homul's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Homul is ranked 28,687^th in the world and 81^st in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 73.78 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
