The Happy People of Khazdama is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jatushin Hutunev with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.298 billion Khazdamen 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khazad- dám. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khazdaman economy, worth a remarkable 2,067 trillion khazas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,441 khazas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and membership in Aulë is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khazdama's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aulë.

Khazdama is ranked 46,198^th in the world and 57^th in Eurth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,223.34 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
