The Republic of Hawk4 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 7.582 billion Hawk4ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Hawk4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,833 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Arms Manufacturing facilities are being turned into falcon habitats, the government seizes all major gold finds, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawk4's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Hawk4 is ranked 232,916th in the world and 6,633rd in Suspicious for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
