The Dictatorship of Hathian Prime is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Markus Auron-Sirus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.405 billion Hathenians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkon. The average income tax rate is 44.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Hathian Primean economy, worth a remarkable 2,480 trillion Hathian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 185,035 Hathian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone seems to be pushing the buttons of AIs, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hathian Prime's national animal is the Hathian Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hathian Prime is ranked 48,935^th in the world and 2,615^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,991.01 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
