The Federal Republic of Haekang is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Federal President Ryo Tae-ji with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.462 billion haekangais are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoju. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient haekangais economy, worth a remarkable 2,035 trillion Hwons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 272,733 Hwons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Haekang recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, nations that kill a haekangais can expect a strongly worded letter, and preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haekang's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.

Haekang is ranked 131,771st in the world and 26th in Calme Ybovien for Most Stationary, with 246.71596710168 days.
