The Watchfires of HACGD is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The cynical, devout population of 20.725 billion HACGDians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong HACGDian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion $$s a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,004 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be', and foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of HACGD. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HACGD's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

HACGD is ranked 304,776^th in the world and 1^st in Bedrock for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -11.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
