Freedom of Movement within the Country, Foreign Travel, Emigration and Repatriation There is complete freedom of all permissible movement within the Empire for all Huns. Serfs, slaves and other subject peoples may move as necessary when sold. Because of the idyllic conditions within the country, there is no foreign travel (other than rescue missions led by the Great Leader) and, aside from per- sons returning from such missions, there is no repatriation. Over 800,000 Thracian and Gaul- ish slaves were welcomed into the Hun Empire for resettlement in connection with rescue mis- sions in 451. Section 3 Respect for Political Rights: The Right of Citizens to Change Their Government The Hunnish system of streamlined government consists of the Great Leader, Attila the Hun, who makes all necessary decisions and issues the necessary directives. Hindrances such as constitutions, laws, legislatures and courts are dispensed with. The rule of Attila the Hun enjoys the unanimous support of the population of the Hun Empire, with no complaints reported in 451. Complaints in the earlier years of the Great Leader’s rule were invariably dealt with in a timely and efficient fashion, and there have been no credible repetitions in recent years. Local administration is carried out by Huns known as “picked men” who are freely chosen by Attila the Hun and are assigned specific tribes of subject people as their responsibility. Section 4 Governmental Attitude Regarding In- ternational and Nongovernmental In- vestigations of Alleged Violations of Human Rights The Empire of the Hun Horde does not require any governmental or private bodies for the in- vestigation or defense of human rights. While investigating commissions from two for- eign human rights organizations were permitted to enter the Empire during 451, these commis- sions, like previous ones, have not emerged to file their reports. In any case, no criticism of human rights practices was necessary. ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SITUATION The remarkable political stability achieved under the enlightened leadership of Attila the Hun has enabled the Empire of the Hun Horde to enjoy equally remarkable economic growth and prosperity. The Great Leader’s farsighted eco- nomic development plans give absolute priority to private property and individual ownership. All wealth and means of production are the pri- vate property of Attila the Hun, including own- ership of all individuals acquired during the Empire’s expansion projects. The veritable paradise created by the Great Leader has brought universal contentment to all of the Em- pire’s inhabitants. The economy of the Hun Empire is essentially agrarian. The high tax rate on commerce and industry (100 percent) has discouraged busi- ness growth, but tributes from the Eastern and Western Roman Empires supply all of the Huns’ needs for manufactured or imported goods. All land is privately owned by Attila the Hun; agricultural products are, however, allotted to the other Huns, who collect them from the subject peoples after harvest. The natural fertility of the soil and the industriousness of the subject peoples have ensured the Huns the highest standard of living in the known world. The annual per capita income of the Huns (analyzed separately from the distorting effects of the large subject population) was over 1,000 gold talents. Income per capita of the subject peoples was somewhat less, perhaps 65 cents. This high standard of living, with some members of the subject population sur- passing the subsistence level before taxes, has led to correspondingly high levels of health, with the life expectancy at birth es- timated at over 20 years. The Empire of the Hun Horde, which stretches from the depths of Central Asia to the borders of Gaul, is relatively underpopulated, with a population of approximately 10 million. The population is essentially stable, with immigra- tion of slaves balanced by executions of mis- creant groups. Because the example of Attila the Hun and his forebears has demonstrated the innecessity of education or literacy, the Hun Empire has no school system and the literacy rate was close to 0, other than among certain slaves. Social mobility does not depend on education nor, for that matter, is it known to exist.
