The Republic of Hta is a massive, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 1.868 billion Htans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Htan economy, worth 56.7 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,374 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hta's national animal is the bison.
Hta is ranked 106,525th in the world and 306th in Pacifism for Most Accessible, scoring 303.04 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
