The Free Land of Hatso is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 1.475 billion Hatsoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Chapeau. The average income tax rate is 31.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hatsoan economy, worth 72.8 trillion brims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,389 brims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hatso's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Hatso is ranked 41,559^th in the world and 90^th in A Taco Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,578.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
