The Republic of HJT73 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.234 billion HJT73ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.3%.

The strong HJT73ian economy, worth 154 trillion rupees 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. 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 69,097 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,400 per year while the poor average 17,493, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. HJT73's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HJT73 is ranked 206,500^th in the world and 8,163^rd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
