The Republic of HJT99 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.152 billion HJT99ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped HJT99ian economy, worth 98.4 trillion baht a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,702 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT99's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

HJT99 is ranked 13,788th in the world and 761st in Osiris for Most Armed, with 9.6 weapons per person.
