The Owen of Huks Gares is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isaac Reynolds with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.865 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 Defense, Education, 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 138,106th in the world and 412th in United Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 993.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
