The Republic of Hazarium is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Senate with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.406 billion Hazarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hazar-Prime. The average income tax rate is 67.4%.

The all-consuming Hazariumian economy, worth 142 trillion Hazers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,457 Hazers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Hazarium at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Hazarium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hazarium's national animal is the Mushroom, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hazarium is ranked 84,259^th in the world and 4,676^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 950 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
