The Red coloured nation of Hugorkher is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.61 billion Hugorkherians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dayglow. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hugorkherian economy, worth 225 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 139,801 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, a flying elephant and Santa Claus share the same nickname, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Dayglow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hugorkher's national animal is the raindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hugorkher is ranked 198,160^th in the world and 562^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
