The Technocratic Republic of Hadrex is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Iltair Kilbaz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 9.866 billion Hadrexians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hondrexia. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadrexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion Yarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 126,131 Yarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, purported secret military bases are dismissed by Iltair Kilbaz to be highly-advanced toilet factories, and Iltair Kilbaz is said to pay a tithe to a violent sect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadrex's national animal is the The Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Hadrex is ranked 72,075^th in the world and 1,592^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
