The Santa States of Ho Ho Ho is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 25.498 billion Ho Ho Hoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Betlehem. The average income tax rate is 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ho Ho Hoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,485 trillion Hoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 175,922 Hoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ho Ho Ho's national animal is the reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianism.

Ho Ho Ho is ranked 11,235th in the world and 9th in Christmas for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,595.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
