The Great Eyes of a Great Leader of The Great Hiatus is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Hiatus with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.755 billion Hiatusians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiatus City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Great Hiatusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,943 trillion Hiatusan Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 250,659 Hiatusan Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,236,052 per year while the poor average 28,959, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, there's no representation without taxation, city-dwellers are forcibly moved to farming communes in the countryside, and the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Hiatus's national animal is the Eafle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hiatusian Atheism.

The Great Hiatus is ranked 112,630th in the world and 23rd in Callista for Most Stationary, with 353.7743916398 days.
