The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Hawkwas Sovustian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with a fair hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.456 billion Hawkwas Sovustianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawkwas Sovustianian economy, worth 197 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,393 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Hawkwas Sovustianians, religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and third world countries are rich in "I Love Yggdrassil" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hawkwas Sovustian's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Hawkwas Sovustian is ranked 306,790th in the world and 51st in Liberlandia for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -13.49 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
