The State of Hoof Hearted is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 28.464 billion Hoof Heartedians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Hoof Heartedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 40,260 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 273,723 per year while the poor average 2,163, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Hoof Hearted has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Hoof Hearted in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hoof Hearted's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hoof Hearted is ranked 5,710^th in the world and 1^st in Austin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,451.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
