The Hunger Games of 74th is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Katniss Everdeen with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 25.613 billion 74thians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient 74thian economy, worth a remarkable 1,038 trillion 74s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 40,544 74s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Jay has been named as 74th's national religion, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, 74th has designated Capitol as its capital city, and Katniss Everdeen has just been declared ruler of 74th in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 74th's national animal is the mockingjay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Jay.

74th is ranked 161,196^th in the world and 1^st in Hunger Games for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 455.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
