The United States of Hutlandia is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 140 million Hutlandians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.6%.
The Hutlandian economy, worth 6.61 trillion USHDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,201 USHDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
The government has implemented minimum wage laws, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime is almost non-existent. Hutlandia's national animal is the Jackrabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Hutlandia is ranked 92,268th in the world and 92nd in Refugia for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 1,535.64 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
