The ᵁⁿʰᵒˡʸ ᴷʰᵃˡᵃᵗⁿⁱᵏᵒᵛⁱˢᵗ ᴱᵐᵖⁱʳᵉ of The Kharkivan Cossacks is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Oleksandr Khalatnikov with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.543 billion ᴸⁱᵗᵗˡᵉ ᶜᵒˢˢᵃᶜᵏ ᵖᵘᵖᵖᵉᵗˢ 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Кнаякїѵ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kharkivan Cossack economy, worth 890 trillion Kharkivan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 350,187 Kharkivan Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,068,126 per year while the poor average 89,047, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule The Kharkivan Cossacks but at least the trains run on time, rumor has it that Emperor Oleksandr Khalatnikov has won three lotteries in a row, and the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kharkivan Cossacks's national animal is the Black Stallion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ᶜᵒʳʳᵘᵖᵗⁱⁿᵍ ᵗʰʸ ᵉⁿᵉᵐⁱᵉˢ ᵃⁿᵈ ᶠʳⁱᵉⁿᵈˢ.

The Kharkivan Cossacks is ranked 36,273^rd in the world and 20^th in Imperial World Nations for Most Conservative, scoring 79.58 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
