The United Socialist States of Hadro is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Naro with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.839 billion Hadroans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hadropolis. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadroan economy, worth 521 trillion kromers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,776 kromers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War is made in the name of love, the true length of the coastline of Hadro may never be measured, anti-government web sites are springing up, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadro's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hadro is ranked 307,563^rd in the world and 4,604^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
