The Republic of Hakoyama is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 286 million Hakoyamen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hakoyaman economy, worth 10.2 trillion Tais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,722 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 very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakoyama's national animal is the Hakoyama wood pigeon .

Hakoyama is ranked 240,624^th in the world and 2,728^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 286 million capita.
