The Republic of Hawk34

“Strength Through Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Hawk34 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.845 billion Hawk34ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.5%.

The all-consuming Hawk34ian economy, worth 688 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,621 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,845 per year while the poor average 25,475, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, people who have lived their entire lives in Hawk34 are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawk34's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hawk34 is ranked 38,734^th in the world and 661^st in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 55.87 kickbacks per hour.
