The Republic of HM1 is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by The Leader of HM1 with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14.221 billion HM1ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balle Balle. The average income tax rate is 16.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The HM1ian economy, worth 754 trillion abcs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,079 abcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable, crayon squiggles were a late addition to the works of the Renaissance Old Masters, and The Leader of HM1 has been known to make speeches in fishing waders. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. HM1's national animal is the abc, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

HM1 is ranked 33,100^th in the world and 1^st in Indian Mars for Largest Populations, with 14.2 billion capita.
