The Timey Wimey Adventurer of Dr Hooves is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Time Turner with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 15.787 billion Dr Hoovesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equestria. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Dr Hoovesian economy, worth a remarkable 6,488 trillion Hourglasses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 411,018 Hourglasses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Equestria, Dr Hooves recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, and the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dr Hooves's national animal is the Pony, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Dr Hooves is ranked 330,983rd in the world and 114th in Equestria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -22.41 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
