The Republic of HJT84 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.189 billion HJT84ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving HJT84ian economy, worth 165 trillion baht 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, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 75,733 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT84's national animal is the turtle, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

HJT84 is ranked 65,269th in the world and 3,893rd in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,241.62 Standard Monetary Units.
