The State of Howland Baker Atolls is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 29.425 billion Howland Baker Atollsians 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, 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 Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Howland Baker Atollsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,399 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,566 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,395 per year while the poor average 2,555, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and Howland Baker Atolls has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Howland Baker Atolls's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Howland Baker Atolls is ranked 289,806^th in the world and 670^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 32.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
