The United Socialist States of Hadro is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Naro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.875 billion Hadroans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hadropolis. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadroan economy, worth 526 trillion kromers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 135,854 kromers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-kromer treacle machine, and juries deliberate more than magic 8-balls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadro's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hadro is ranked 207,291^st in the world and 2,828^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,585.84 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
