The Kingdom of De Ruijter Puur Chocolade Hagelslag is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.979 billion Hagelslagians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong De Ruijter Puur Chocolade Hagelslagian economy, worth 157 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,763 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, tens of thousands of Hagelslagians rock the night away at the annual SuperLob, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, and the Lion has a hungry look. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De Ruijter Puur Chocolade Hagelslag's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

De Ruijter Puur Chocolade Hagelslag is ranked 266,333^rd in the world and 204^th in Nederland for Most Patriotic, with 0.91 flags saluted per person per day.
