The Principality of Hadenbracht is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Principal Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 13.854 billion Hadenbrachtians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bodlán. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadenbrachtian economy, worth a remarkable 3,597 trillion Gelders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 259,694 Gelders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 912,796 per year while the poor average 53,546, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, vaccinations are mandatory, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime is totally unknown. Hadenbracht's national animal is the Oyster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Hadenbracht is ranked 2,598^th in the world and 25^th in Europeia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,739.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
