The Kingdom of Hunterdon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Joseph III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 3.011 billion Hunterdonians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hunterdon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hunterdonian economy, worth 533 trillion ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,069 ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 661,786 per year while the poor average 33,182, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Self-driving cars obey the road rules even during emergencies, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, Hunterdonians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and it's illegal to be caught on tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunterdon's national animal is the ermine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Hunterdon is ranked 18,617^th in the world and 481^st in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 121.49 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
