The Republic of HJT356 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.376 billion HJT356ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.2%.

The very strong HJT356ian economy, worth 73.2 trillion liberatuses a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,217 liberatuses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 171,165 per year while the poor average 12,532, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT356's national animal is the griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

HJT356 is ranked 2,687^th in the world and 157^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring 164.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
