The District of Hydaburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.457 billion Hydaburgans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The thriving Hydaburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,779 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,498 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 153,508 per year while the poor average 11,106, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Hydaburg has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Hydaburg in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hydaburg's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hydaburg is ranked 22,933^rd in the world and 1^st in Sachsen Anhalt for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,903.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
