The Glorious Empire of Hydronica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Leleaf Hydronica with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.9 billion Hydronicans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hydron. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hydronican economy, worth a remarkable 4,421 trillion Drofcoms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,171 Drofcoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hydronica's national animal is the Komodor Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hydronica is ranked 5,790th in the world and 52nd in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,996.6647488 days.
