The Cronix Citadel of LoboHobo is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ezriel La Cronix - Oyankopon of LoboHobo with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.49 billion Hobblers 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New HoboanBurgh. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient LoboHoboan economy, worth 599 trillion Ponaxia Hobonizias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 171,786 Ponaxia Hobonizias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, sex changes are routinely performed at LoboHobo's hospitals, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LoboHobo's national animal is the Godzilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ashantism.

LoboHobo is ranked 94,008th in the world and 5th in Novus Phoenix Imperium for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,545.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
