The Fragrance in Thaw of Hu Tao is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Hu Tao with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.246 billion Hu Taoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liyue. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hu Taoan economy, worth 643 trillion genesis crystals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 88,747 genesis crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown. Hu Tao's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Hu Tao is ranked 74,663^rd in the world and 519^th in Ambition for Largest Populations, with 7.25 billion capita.
