The Republic of HUR 1 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.175 billion HUR 1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The HUR 1ian economy, worth 94.0 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,213 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, HUR 1ian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, high school bands practice by moonlight, and the little guy plays a big role in HUR 1ian politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HUR 1's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HUR 1 is ranked 158,867^th in the world and 1^st in Port Novakat for Most Authoritarian, with 666.68 milliStalins.
