The Republic of Brown Hawk is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The quiet, industrious population of 1.964 billion Brown Hawkians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.6%.

The Brown Hawkian economy, worth 75.6 trillion cracked beaks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,480 cracked beaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, the government seizes all major gold finds, and panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brown Hawk's national animal is the stains, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brown Hawk is ranked 327,209^th in the world and 17,466^th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
