The Peoples republic of Hakarata is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Big Joe with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 808 million Hakaratans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellingberg. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hakaratan economy, worth 85.4 trillion Hakaratan Zhongs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,708 Hakaratan Zhongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, workers plan vacations during election season, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakarata's national animal is the Alpaca, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hakarata is ranked 67,763^rd in the world and 7^th in Guinea Kiribati for Rudest Citizens, with 69.54 insults per minute.
