Hocotate is shown to be commercialised; its currency is the [[Poko]], a small coin that resembles those from the Super Mario series. Items from the [[Pikmin Planet]] are considered extremely rare treasures, and can be worth a particularly large amount of Pokos, which enables Olimar and Louie to pay off their company's debt of 10,100 Pokos. For comparison, 100 Pokos is more than a year's salary for the [[President of Hocotate Freight]]. Although the exact conversion of a poko to a dollar seems out of reach, by studing the "healing cask" treasure, you can estimate that a poko is worth about .02 dollars or 2 cents. A Mayor of Hocotate is alluded in [[Olimar's notes]] on some occasions, though his status in Hocotatian goverment is unknown.

"Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan" is a Hocotate company with which the [[President]] attempts to take out a loan in Pikmin 2 to cover for the lost shipment of [[golden Pikpik carrot]]s. It is later revealed in one of his [[mail|letters]] to [[Olimar]] that, instead, he has accidentally taken out a loan with the company just next door, the "All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks", which forces him to go into hiding.
