The Galactic Republic of Stukilo is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Dodde with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 12.376 billion Hawkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hökland. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hawkine economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Shindlerians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 169,259 Shindlerians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and Hawkine military drills look more like joint-Europe exercises than anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stukilo's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Stukilo is ranked 180,715^th in the world and 537^th in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.73 percentage of bribes refused.
