The Emirate of Hijashvin is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 15.525 billion Hijashvinians 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 tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 7.3%.

The strong Hijashvinian economy, worth 773 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 49,798 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reining in public spending, voting is voluntary, and a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hijashvin's national animal is the leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hijashvin is ranked 259,408^th in the world and 10,794^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
