The Burning Legion Agent of Hakkar the Houndmaster is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.729 billion Hakkar the Houndmasterians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hakkar the Houndmasterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,181 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 175,543 francs, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, and dentists routinely perform open heart surgery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hakkar the Houndmaster's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Hakkar the Houndmaster is ranked 310,307th in the world and 9th in The Burning Legion for Nicest Citizens, with 0.69 average smiles per day.
