The Galactic Republic of Stukilo is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dodde with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.845 billion Hawkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hökland. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawkine economy, worth a remarkable 1,979 trillion Shindlerians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,121 Shindlerians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hawkans also serve as great lightning rods, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, "The Pride of the Hawkine Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, and strategic bombers are being converted into preschools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stukilo's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stukilo is ranked 238,571^st in the world and 535^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.65 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
