The Free People of Hawk1 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.336 billion Hawk1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawk1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,333 trillion baht 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, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 159,980 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawk1's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hawk1 is ranked 18,998^th in the world and 1^st in The Hawks Nest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
