The Federal Republic of The Horizon Federation is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 541 million Horizonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Horizon City. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Horizonian economy, worth 30.8 trillion Horizon Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,989 Horizon Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Horizon Federation's national animal is the Common Horizon Crab.

The Horizon Federation is ranked 54,265^th in the world and 1,189^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,032.71 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
