The Tyranny of Hadadia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Tyrant with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.353 billion Hadadians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Profit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,647 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 198,720 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,834,321 per year while the poor average 2,134, a ratio of 859 to 1.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Hadadia flights to avoid the pay lavatories, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and universities are populated by the spawn of the upper classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Hadadia's national animal is the Stag, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hadadia is ranked 235,551st in the world and 7th in Oatia for Safest, scoring 17.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
