The Disputed Territories of Hasaari is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 3.069 billion Hasaarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hasaarian economy, worth 32.0 trillion buews a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 10,429 buews, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An eye for an eye leaves Hasaari blind, territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, and the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Hasaari. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hasaari's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hasaari is ranked 251,381^st in the world and 199^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -31.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
