The Queendom of The Hard Part is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Regina Aemalia with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 22.971 billion Hard Partians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dickensville. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hard Partian economy, worth a remarkable 4,477 trillion Weiners a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,903 Weiners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Regina Aemalia's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Dickensville generates millions of views, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime is totally unknown. The Hard Part's national animal is the Echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

The Hard Part is ranked 292,520^th in the world and 9^th in Equinox for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
