The Pretitle Theocracy of Hw123 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Don with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.717 billion GOATS 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mejiro. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Goat economy, worth 583 trillion Cleats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 123,759 Cleats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", meals are now followed by thirty minutes of mandatory exercise, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hw123's national animal is the Harry Brook, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Teiooooooooooooo.

Hw123 is ranked 6,964^th in the world and 8^th in Wintreath for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 121.22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
