The Republic of Hakoyama is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 259 million Hakoyamen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hakoyaman economy, worth 8.75 trillion Tais a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,773 Tais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is wading into dangerous waters, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakoyama's national animal is the Hakoyama wood pigeon .

Hakoyama is ranked 13,076^th in the world and 356^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 118.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
