The Imperium of Husseberg is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Reinhold II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.621 billion Hussans 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumenland. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hussebergian economy, worth a remarkable 1,473 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,909 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, Max Barry is this year's Miss Husseberg, Kaiser Reinhold II is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and relations with Merovingia are as cold as Husseberg's high-security cell blocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Husseberg's national animal is the Ferrets, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Husseberg is ranked 10,691^st in the world and 85^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,563.97 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
