The Load Transfer of Fock is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Pro-Lift B-004D Hydraulic Bottle Jack with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.732 billion Hogeprole have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harbour Grease. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hogeprole economy, worth 725 trillion Australian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,543 Australian Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 690,516 per year while the poor average 11,877, a ratio of 58.1 to 1.

Merchant ships always travel line astern in Hogeprole waters, hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and stylish juvenile delinquents are highly overrepresented in fatal motorcycle accidents. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fock's national animal is the Wombat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fock is ranked 4,751st in the world and 2nd in The Bottomless Pit for Most Primitive, scoring 126.83 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
