The Most Serene Republic of Hajima is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Countess Litchi von Chinensis with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 20.782 billion Hajimen 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soapberry. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The strong Hajiman economy, worth a remarkable 2,553 trillion Indigo Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 122,865 Indigo Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, youth call each other types of vegetables in lieu of government-banned racial insults, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hajima's national animal is the Iridescent Short-Haired Lychee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hajima is ranked 1,798^th in the world and 70^th in Lazarus for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 2,562.68 Tourists Per Hour.
