The State of HBR is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ayame Misaki with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and astonishingly minimal parenting. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.752 billion HBRians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 한보름. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The frighteningly efficient HBRian economy, worth 738 trillion Ruxukous a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 196,700 Ruxukous, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, the government has returned all business to private ownership, foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, and graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. HBR's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ladies'.

HBR is ranked 275,352nd in the world and 101st in Japan for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.18 percentage of bribes refused.
