The Federation of HJT124 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, feral children, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.917 billion HJT124ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse HJT124ian economy, worth 184 trillion lei a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,274 lei, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, the nation has nearly as many history museums as HJT124ians, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT124's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

HJT124 is ranked 265,385^th in the world and 9,829^th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.17 weapons per person.
