The Republic of HJT382 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.343 billion HJT382ians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped HJT382ian economy, worth 26.0 trillion liberatuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 19,340 liberatuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, organ donation is compulsory, and the tightness of border controls in HJT382 leave a little to be desired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT382's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

HJT382 is ranked 137,786^th in the world and 6,525^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 744.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
