The Nomadic Peoples of Hayhass is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Hayhassians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 15.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hayhassian economy, worth 1.57 trillion Siimo Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,251 Siimo Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise, and citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Hayhass's national animal is the Arctic fox.

Hayhass is ranked 137,716^th in the world and 154^th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
