The Republic of HJT12 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.329 billion HJT12ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.2%.

The powerhouse HJT12ian economy, worth 234 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,696 francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Leader, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, commemoration of the Great Lazarus War costs almost as much as the war itself, and fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HJT12's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HJT12 is ranked 27,056^th in the world and 1,771^st in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 875.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
