The Republic of Endorsement is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working population of 5.483 billion Endorsementians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The strong Endorsementian economy, worth 266 trillion rubledollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,545 rubledollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Endorsement's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Endorsement is ranked 180,464^th in the world and 4,321^st in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 350.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
