The Queendom of Haya-Nagatoro is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 155 million Haya-Nagatoroans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Haya-Nagatoroan economy, worth 12.3 trillion pengins 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 79,501 pengins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haya-Nagatoro's national animal is the Senpai.

Haya-Nagatoro is ranked 278,922nd in the world and 5,124th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
