The Republic of Haudatasaari is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 362 million Haudatasaarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilugisand. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Haudatasaarian economy, worth 18.5 trillion Haudatasaarian Kroners a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,022 Haudatasaarian Kroners, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Haudatasaari's national animal is the arctic char, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Haudatasaari is ranked 10,754^th in the world and 16^th in Wintercrest for Safest, scoring 120.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
