The Democratic Republic of Huatana is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Otávio Ferreira with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.27 billion Huatanans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sáncelia. The average income tax rate is 27.4%.

The strong Huatanan economy, worth 232 trillion Zarya Huatanoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,189 Zarya Huatanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and The Sáncelia State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Huatana's national animal is the Guiramã, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Laico.

Huatana is ranked 192,437^th in the world and 7^th in Novo Brasil for Fattest Citizens, with 9.47 Obesity Rate.
