The Dictatorship of Hatanam is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 1.614 billion Hatanamians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hatanamian economy, worth 146 trillion Gibbels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,605 Gibbels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Hatanamian mussels the biggest in the West Pacific, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, and nations that kill a Hatanamian can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hatanam's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hatanam is ranked 45,132^nd in the world and 424^th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,107.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
