The Federal Republic of Hatiandrive is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President André with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.564 billion Hatiandrians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hatianuna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Hatiandrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion Dollars 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 an impressive 126,681 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 408,107 per year while the poor average 29,762, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
Police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hatiandrive's national animal is the Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.
Hatiandrive is ranked 253,261st in the world and 3,573rd in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 1.06 average smiles per day.
