The Republic of Hawkwing is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working population of 8 million Hawkwingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.6%.

The Hawkwingian economy, worth 306 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 38,245 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hawkwing's national animal is the penguin.

Hawkwing is ranked 238,137^th in the world and 33^rd in Norrys new puppet region for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,217.79 Standard Monetary Units.
