The Nepotistic Autocracy of Hakskeekah is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Most August and Benevolent Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.391 billion Fodder 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bahlem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.1%.

The thriving Fodder economy, worth 474 trillion Blood Of Our Citizens 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 108,139 Blood Of Our Citizens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 526,785 per year while the poor average 12,792, a ratio of 41.2 to 1.

Hakskeekah isn't what it used to be, nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, and children often kick Peeper Beetles for amusement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakskeekah's national animal is the Peeper Beetle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Emperor Knows Best.

Hakskeekah is ranked 94,884th in the world and 93rd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 44.05 Effective Tax Rate.
