The Republic of Hawk38

“Twirling Toward Freedom”

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

The Republic of Hawk38 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, soft-spoken computers, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.752 billion Hawk38ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hawk38ian economy, worth 820 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 121,568 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawk38's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hawk38 is ranked 209,939^th in the world and 5,396^th in Suspicious for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
