The People's Republic of HJT199 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.769 billion HJT199ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.7%.

The very strong HJT199ian economy, worth 132 trillion dobras a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,961 dobras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,998 per year while the poor average 15,057, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

Police officers ride the swiftest falcons, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT199's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

HJT199 is ranked 187,750^th in the world and 6,163^rd in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -74.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
