The Populist Union of Hungarian Social Republic is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 710 million Magyars are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budapest. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Magyar economy, worth 18.7 trillion Forints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 26,335 Forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Belly is watching you, citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hungarian Social Republic's national animal is the Turul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hungarian Social Republic is ranked 218,639^th in the world and 69^th in Fifth Empire for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.01 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
