The Maritime Kingdom of Hayfielda is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prince Davuod III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.592 billion Hayfieldans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shellstone. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hayfieldan economy, worth 190 trillion Hayfieldays a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 119,701 Hayfieldays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Shellstone State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, large sections of Hayfielda have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hayfielda's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Hayfielda is ranked 16,391^st in the world and 1^st in Kephria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 341.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
