The Republic of Hittanryan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Amy Bailey with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.079 billion Adirans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Laconia. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Adiran economy, worth a remarkable 3,320 trillion Adiran Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,377 Adiran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and Hittanryan has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hittanryan's national animal is the Raccoon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hittanryan is ranked 243,662^nd in the world and 1^st in The Cornellian Empire for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -29.63 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
