The Incorporated States of Hakarata is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 313 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 Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellingburg capital district. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hakaratan economy, worth 25.7 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 82,083 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

One complaint of Hakarata's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, and tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 121,641^st in the world and 2^nd in Haranto for Largest Governments, scoring 14.49 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
