The Clock of Hickory Dickory Dock is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mickey with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.562 billion Hickory Dockians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rattow. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hickory Dickory Dockian economy, worth a remarkable 3,223 trillion Ryals 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 173,681 Ryals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, Mickey's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hickory Dickory Dock's national animal is the Black Rat and its national religion is Tockism.

Hickory Dickory Dock is ranked 69,147^th in the world and 9^th in Medio for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,978.19 Standard Monetary Units.
