The Most Serene Utopian Republic of Horacellum is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Sovereign and Six Divine Saints with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 4.592 billion Seersfolks are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seer's Crown. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Horacellumian economy, worth 884 trillion Elniys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,651 Elniys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, the new Horacellumian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, shaking a stone out of your shoe is considered to be dangerously risqué, and police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Horacellum's national animal is the Monochrome Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Stars' Witness.

Horacellum is ranked 25,855th in the world and 1,409th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,567.17 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
