The High Athelingric of Hrawrda is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.571 billion Hrawrdans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hrawrdan economy, worth a remarkable 1,531 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 178,628 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Hrawrdan Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hrawrda's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Hrawrda is ranked 243,957^th in the world and 1,183^rd in Snep for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
