The Lean Mean Raiding Machine of Kothic Hawk is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 23.159 billion Kothic Hawkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kothic Hawkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,146 trillion cheeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,699 cheeses, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, people experiencing anaphylactic shock are told to buck their ideas up, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and the government is funneling billions into Cape Kothic Hawk following the shuttle crash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kothic Hawk's national animal is the cormac, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kothic Hawk is ranked 139,998^th in the world and 1^st in Aequus Isles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,255.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
