The Basket Weaving Factory State of Hoffania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Unit 0001 with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.501 billion Robots 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Factories 1-397. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Robotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,384 trillion 1s and 0s a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,824 1s and 0s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, large areas of Hoffania are not accessible by the public, golden statues of Robots line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hoffania's national animal is the Robot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of the Artificial Intelligence.

Hoffania is ranked 80,472nd in the world and 1,067th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,649.67 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
