The Peoples republic of Hakarata is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 741 million Hakaratans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hellingburg capital district. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hakaratan economy, worth 77.4 trillion Hakaratan Zhongs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,421 Hakaratan Zhongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats in Hakarata are furious at constant police surveillance, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakarata's national animal is the Alpaca, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hakarata is ranked 78,662^nd in the world and 6^th in Guinea Kiribati for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,640.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
