The Socialist Kingdom of Huks Gares is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Isaac with an even hand, and notable for its fear of technology, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 15.166 billion Hukians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Huks Garsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,709 trillion Gold Bars 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. 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 impressive 112,706 Gold Bars, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is rumoured that Isaac uses a magic 8-ball to make policy decisions, the diplomatic corps stinks, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Huks Gares's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Athyism.

Huks Gares is ranked 10,094^th in the world and 6^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,121.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
