The Republic of Hittanryan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Tavish DeGroot with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 33.997 billion Adirans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Laconia. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adiran economy, worth a remarkable 5,163 trillion Adiran Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,882 Adiran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and Hittanryan has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hittanryan's national animal is the Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hittanryan is ranked 224,693^rd in the world and 11,321^st in Balder for Rudest Citizens, with 33.73 insults per minute.
