The Dictatorship of The Holy Spirits is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Holy Spiritsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong Holy Spiritsian economy, worth 3.30 trillion Toys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 66,072 Toys, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, the government's stance on marriage is 'Let Holy Spiritsians marry themselves', police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named". Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Holy Spirits's national animal is the Blobfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Holy Spirits is ranked 34,888th in the world and 162nd in Two for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,789.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
