The Republic of Hakkestan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jasan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.876 billion Hakkestanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mordor City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The powerhouse Hakkestanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,834 trillion Hugs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,719 Hugs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 314,351 per year while the poor average 29,816, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Hakkestan's national animal is the Seahorse, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Hakkestan is ranked 119,678^th in the world and 6^th in The Hakketomatian Commonwealth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
