The State of Hackbart is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 33.036 billion Hackbartians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.1%.

The very strong Hackbartian economy, worth a remarkable 1,253 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 37,935 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, membership in the state-owned Church of Hackbart is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned, and Hackbart has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hackbart's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hackbart is ranked 60,846^th in the world and 370^th in State for Fattest Citizens, with 12.97 Obesity Rate.
