The Colony of HATRED AND BIGOTRY is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by The Lawd with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 847 million HATERS AND BIGOTS 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Mombasa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.

The frighteningly efficient HATRED AND BIGOTRYian economy, worth 156 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 184,598 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 648,842 per year while the poor average 38,062, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for HATRED AND BIGOTRY, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. HATRED AND BIGOTRY's national animal is the Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

HATRED AND BIGOTRY is ranked 223,449^th in the world and 4,679^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 27.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
