Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Galactic Empire of Huntaer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Eve Agathon with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.34 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal individuals concentrates mainly on Defence, although Commerce and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huntaria. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the new hit series "Huntaer's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Huntaer's national animal is the Coredian, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Kirtir, and its currency is the Twi'lek.

Huntaer is ranked 1st in Grand Alliance and 647th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
