The Colony of Haemonia is a fledgling, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million Haemonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair Haemonian economy, worth 138 billion ration points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 27,699 ration points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haemonia's national animal is the morphing shrub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haemonia is ranked 48,854^th in the world and 161^st in Starlight for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 714.55 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
