The Fantastic Land of Otherwhere and Hadal Kingdoms is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Ad with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.345 billion Others are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pork. The average income tax rate is 18.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Otherwherian economy, worth 258 trillion Plectrums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Basket Weaving. 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 22,769 Plectrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Supreme Emperor Ad's throne, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, rural children are told reading's important (for other people), and atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otherwhere and Hadal Kingdoms's national animal is the Monkey crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Adism.

Otherwhere and Hadal Kingdoms is ranked 237,215^th in the world and 9,373^rd in Balder for Safest, scoring 19.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
