The Federation of Haquim is a large, safe nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 103 million Haquimians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Haquimian economy, worth 6.74 trillion Nenides a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,407 Nenides, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,700 per year while the poor average 13,870, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

Crayon squiggles were a late addition to the works of the Renaissance Old Masters, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, and parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haquim's national animal is the Denus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haquim is ranked 112,065^th in the world and 91^st in Edoca for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,407.58 Standard Monetary Units.
