The Gingerbread Wardens of Haku is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Paul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.284 billion Hakuans 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 relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haku City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hakuan economy, worth a remarkable 2,596 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 142,003 golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,288,654 per year while the poor average 1,818, a ratio of 708 to 1.

Whole-wheat loaves are sold under the counter in brown paper bags, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, a paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Haku's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Athyism.

Haku is ranked 72,480^th in the world and 40^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,034.81 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
