The Republic of Hut is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 186 million Hutians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Hutian economy, worth 8.30 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,623 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hut's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Hut is ranked 172,124^th in the world and 3^rd in Three Letter Words for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,534.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
