The Galactic Republic of Stukilo is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Dodde with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 12.265 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 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawkine economy, worth a remarkable 2,076 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 169,263 Shindlerians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners "adopt" rotund Hawks to line the pockets of wildlife sanctuaries, the government throws money at problems when in a jam, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, and chipped paint can see a building condemned. 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 10,960^th in the world and 164^th in Europe for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 88.35 Effective Tax Rate.
