The People's Serenity of Hastrua is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.815 billion Hastruans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yhanta. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hastruan economy, worth a remarkable 2,225 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 226,789 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, the government is giving peace a chance, and the monarch frequently needs protecting from misfiring protection. Crime is totally unknown. Hastrua's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hastrua is ranked 2,057^th in the world and 5^th in Equilism for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 6,534.04 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
