“Ad Astra Per Aspera”

The Republic of The Battlehawk is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.093 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Automobile Manufacturing.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, prisons are crowded with possible terrorist suspects, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Battlehawk's national animal is the Battlehawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Hawko.

The Battlehawk is ranked 22nd in the region and 47,355th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
