The Republic of Haniyeo is a fledgling, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 6 million Haniyeoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Haniyeoan economy, worth 148 billion won a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,703 won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, doctors are in shock as hospitals go into cardiac arrest, and Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haniyeo's national animal is the crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haniyeo is ranked 49,909^th in the world and 3^rd in Korea for Nicest Citizens, with 17.69 average smiles per day.
