The Republic of HJT450 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 919 million HJT450ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant HJT450ian economy, worth 15.1 trillion liberatuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Retail, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,419 liberatuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

H-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT450's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

HJT450 is ranked 198,984^th in the world and 8,623^rd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 315.91 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
