The Empire of Hayan Dal is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.104 billion Hayan Dalians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Healthcare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong Hayan Dalian economy, worth 140 trillion flors a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,527 flors, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,787 per year while the poor average 15,059, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hayan Dal's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Hayan Dal is ranked 191,643^rd in the world and 125^th in Corsair for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
