The Republic of Hasebe is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.865 billion Hasebeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hasebean economy, worth 515 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,443 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, Hasebean Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hasebe's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hasebe is ranked 55,894^th in the world and 145^th in Remembrance for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
