The Republic of New Hatier is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, democratic population of 62 million New Hatierians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The New Hatierian economy, worth 3.40 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,870 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, citizens must pay to enjoy New Hatier's pristine beaches, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and maximum security New Hatierian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Hatier's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Hatier is ranked 134,563^rd in the world and 1^st in The Greater Dominion for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 530.54 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
