The Grand Duchy of HawkoFon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by ArchDuke FonHawk II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.463 billion HawkoFonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raptor City. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong HawkoFonian economy, worth 104 trillion GoldFeathers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,315 GoldFeathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, and garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HawkoFon's national animal is the Golden Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Flyentology.

HawkoFon is ranked 68,002^nd in the world and 1,441^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,212.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
