The Dictatorship of Hawthornes America is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Hawthorne with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 984 million Hawthornes Americans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawthornes American economy, worth 137 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,292 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, workers' complaints never reach central planning, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, and government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Emperor Hawthorne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawthornes America's national animal is the golden tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hawthornes America is ranked 30,529th in the world and 497th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 70.79 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
