The Republic of HJT69 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.067 billion HJT69ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.3%.

The thriving HJT69ian economy, worth 223 trillion baht 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 108,102 baht, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 482,138 per year while the poor average 15,059, a ratio of 32.0 to 1.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, a serf by any other name works just as hard, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT69's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

HJT69 is ranked 173,512th in the world and 3,493rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 91.39696928368 days.
