The Red coloured nation of Hugorkher is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.604 billion Hugorkherians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dayglow. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hugorkherian economy, worth 224 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 139,822 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Hugorkherian military unleashed its biological weapons, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and the Hugorkherian war navy contains an oddly large number of luxury yachts and cruise liners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hugorkher's national animal is the raindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hugorkher is ranked 22,336^th in the world and 1,300^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 89 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
