“If you can dream it, we can half-ass it”

The Galactic Empire of Huntaer is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Vorman with an iron fist, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.329 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huntaria. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The government has implemented minimum wage laws, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the entire retail industry has been replaced by online delivery services, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Huntaer's national animal is the kirtu dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Kirtir, and its currency is the Credit.

Huntaer is ranked 6th in the region and 51,674th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
