The Empire of Hi iaka is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working population of 4.54 billion Hi iakans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The strong Hi iakan economy, worth 216 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,675 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hi iaka's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hi iaka is ranked 178,397^th in the world and 4^th in Nocturne for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 323.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
