The Republic of HJT258 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.55 billion HJT258ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 38.5%.

The HJT258ian economy, worth 85.4 trillion liberatuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,124 liberatuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT258's national animal is the griffin.

HJT258 is ranked 106,000^th in the world and 5,372^nd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,287.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
