The Owen of Huks Gares is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Isaac Reynolds with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.86 billion Huks Garesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Huksopolis. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Huks Garesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,360 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,756 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Huks Garesian bee, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Huks Garesian airwaves, and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Huks Gares's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Garonian.

Huks Gares is ranked 225,790th in the world and 682nd in United Kingdom for Most Conservative, scoring 38.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
