The Retired Nation of Hong Kong Empire is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Yen Jiagan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.46 billion Chinese 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chengde. The average income tax rate is 27.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Chinese economy, worth a remarkable 4,684 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 375,963 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, and conspiracy theorists allege Chengde's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Hong Kong Empire's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Hong Kong Empire is ranked 60,588^th in the world and 1,345^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
