The Kingdom of Nation of Hockey is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 473 million Nation of Hockeyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The Nation of Hockeyian economy, worth 31.0 trillion Pucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,608 Pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the government is spending billions of Pucks on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation of Hockey's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nation of Hockey is ranked 108,103^rd in the world and 574^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,830.93 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
