The Republic of Hazelblade is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.21 billion Hazelbladeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Hazelbladean economy, worth 61.1 trillion pounds 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 7,447 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and a major religion has been named as Hazelblade's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hazelblade's national animal is the giraffe.
Hazelblade is ranked 39,677th in the world and 6th in Common Jaguar Wilds for Most Stationary, with 1,140.40358958568 days.
