The Unrecognized Kindness of Background Hufflepuff is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, feral children, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.126 billion Hufflepuffs 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 enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Public Transport and Defense are ignored. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Hufflepuff economy, worth 527 trillion Galleons 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 Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 74,003 Galleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, glassy-eyed Hufflepuff wives lifelessly chant "I love you" on command, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Background Hufflepuff's national animal is the Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Background Hufflepuff is ranked 45,599th in the world and 1st in Hufflepuff for Most Stationary, with 960.1244549644 days.
