The Confederacy of Hitham is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 231 million Hithmanians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hithamian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Kords a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,696 Kords, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Untold millions of Kords are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hitham's national animal is the Cracovan Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hitham is ranked 168,495^th in the world and 1,000^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 9.07 flags saluted per person per day.
