The Commonwealth of Hozun is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and pith helmet sales. The cynical, humorless population of 787 million Hozunese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kengyom. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hozunese economy, worth 85.0 trillion Hozunese dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,036 Hozunese dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

People can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, deceased relatives are considered property to buy and sell, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hozun's national animal is the West Pacific tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hozun is ranked 65,601st in the world and 521st in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,559.97 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
