Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Galactic Empire of Huntaer is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Eve Agathon with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.71 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huntaria. The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Huntaer's national animal is the Twi'lek, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Kirtir, and its currency is the Twi'lek.

Huntaer is ranked 14th in Grand Alliance and 95,209th in the world for Best Weather, with -2,301 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
