The United Socialist States of HAWKSOC is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.446 billion red hawks 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The red hawk economy, worth 578 trillion regions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,340 regions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Billions of regions are being poured into a space program, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over HAWKSOC, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HAWKSOC's national animal is the red hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
HAWKSOC is ranked 116,813th in the world and 491st in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 44.14 Effective Tax Rate.
