Hawk86

The Republic of Hawk86 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.799 billion Hawk86ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hawk86ian economy, worth 73.4 trillion florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,781 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Several inches are being added to first class seating, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawk86's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hawk86 is ranked 49,116th in the world and 602nd in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 628.96 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
