The Governor of Hawkia is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.839 billion hawks enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The very strong hawk economy, worth 616 trillion regions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 56,856 regions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,155 per year while the poor average 15,105, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime is a problem. Hawkia's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hawkia is ranked 239,540^th in the world and 1^st in Hawkia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 103.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
