The People's commonwealth of Hardyism is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its fear of technology, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.349 billion Hardyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gainesville. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hardyian economy, worth 570 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,266 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the trail of chickpeas is a controversial part of middle school curriculum, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hardyism's national animal is the Chesapeke Bay Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hardyism is ranked 13,137^th in the world and 208^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 110,803.63 Standard Monetary Units.
