The Black Hawk of Holoratus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Visoraxus Holoratus Starkiller with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.134 billion Holoratusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durmengrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The strong Holoratusian economy, worth 823 trillion regions a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,136 regions, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holoratus's national animal is the black hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Holoratus is ranked 108,284th in the world and 165th in The Black Hawks for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,826.77 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
