The United States of NightHawk is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 44.396 billion NightHawkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Environment, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Farbanti. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NightHawkian economy, worth a remarkable 4,896 trillion Unified Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,300 Unified Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across NightHawk, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NightHawk's national animal is the NightHawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

NightHawk is ranked 13,401^st in the world and 2^nd in ISAF2 for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,754.46 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
