The Yugoslav Federative Republic of Hrstrovokia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Radovan Gojković with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.966 billion Yugoslavians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belgrade. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Hrstrovokian economy, worth an astonishing 28,621 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 842,666 Dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,203,088 per year while the poor average 153,720, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hrstrovokia's national animal is the Reconstituted Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hrstrovokia is ranked 292,612^th in the world and 34^th in The Maritimes for Most Primitive, scoring -1078.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
