The Kingdom of Hoopernia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.262 billion Hoopernians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Howell. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hoopernian economy, worth 316 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 97,149 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Prime Minister's wardrobe, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hoopernia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hoopernia is ranked 249,994^th in the world and 253^rd in Wintreath for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
