Hujen

Population10.038 billion

Animaldove

The Republic of Hujen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.038 billion Hujenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hujenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,140 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,246 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, Hujen City's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and getting a blood transfusion from a Hujenian entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hujen's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hujen is ranked 30,078th in the world and 59th in Europeia for Most Stationary, with 1,349.19428929288 days.
