The Galactic Republic of Stukilo is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Dodde with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 12.151 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 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawkine economy, worth a remarkable 2,041 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 167,995 Shindlerians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Hawkine restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and journalists listen to the money talk. 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 5,161^st in the world and 125^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 94.42 on the Human Development Index.
