Location: Hezbollah Resistance headquarters

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of Hjalmthrimul is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-working population of 365 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys and voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Hjalmthrimul's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Gold.

Hjalmthrimul is ranked 2nd in Hezbollah Resistance headquarters and 34,463rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
