The Republic of Ha Tsan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Boozea with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.402 billion Ha Tsanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crotalus. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ha Tsanian economy, worth 192 trillion Souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 136,950 Souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation. Crime is well under control. Ha Tsan's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deniers.

Ha Tsan is ranked 20,959^th in the world and 56^th in Lands End for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 98.57 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
