The Colony of HATRED AND BIGOTRY is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by The Lawd with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 914 million HATERS AND BIGOTS 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Mombasa. The average income tax rate is 54.0%.

The frighteningly efficient HATRED AND BIGOTRYian economy, worth 167 trillion Credits 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. 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 183,133 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for HATRED AND BIGOTRY, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. HATRED AND BIGOTRY's national animal is the Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

HATRED AND BIGOTRY is ranked 19,794^th in the world and 488^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 281.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
