The January Founder of Hatanaka Azami is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hatanaka Azami with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.687 billion Hatanaka Azamians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vindle. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hatanaka Azamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,274 trillion dreams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,095 dreams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime is totally unknown. Hatanaka Azami's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Hatanaka Azami is ranked 129,466^th in the world and 1^st in January for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,520.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
