The State of Hatsunia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Tatsumi Kubo with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.105 billion Hatsunese people 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miraikyo. The average income tax rate is 51.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Hatsunese economy, worth a remarkable 9,597 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an amazing 367,642 yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Prime Minister Tatsumi Kubo's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Miraikyo generates millions of views, libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime is totally unknown. Hatsunia's national animal is the warbler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Hatsunia is ranked 20,934th in the world and 2nd in Neo Otaku Utopia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
