The Tuah of The Hawk is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 5.585 billion Hawkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hawkian economy, worth 50.9 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,119 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hawk's national animal is the hawk.

The Hawk is ranked 321,034^th in the world and 1^st in Hawk for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,645.15 Standard Monetary Units.
