The Republic of Ho Seun is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sonny with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.081 billion Sonnies 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hillcrest. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.2%.

The very strong Sonny economy, worth 205 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,465 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ho Seun's national animal is the Golf GTI, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Speed.

Ho Seun is ranked 113,556^th in the world and 5^th in Rockport for Most Developed, scoring 58.92 on the Human Development Index.
