The Dictatorship of Hasta La Vista is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 245 million Hasta La Vistans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hasta La Vistan economy, worth 24.5 trillion skynets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 100,030 skynets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Hasta La Vistans remember it, and Hasta La Vista's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hasta La Vista's national animal is the Wolverine.

Hasta La Vista is ranked 256,981^st in the world and 100^th in Anteria for Most Primitive, scoring -126.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
