The Republic of HJT87 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.192 billion HJT87ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.7%.

The very strong HJT87ian economy, worth 112 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,467 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 153,029 per year while the poor average 13,570, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the government has declared that sharing is uncaring, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. HJT87's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

HJT87 is ranked 273,673^rd in the world and 10,069^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 55 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
