The Kingdom of Hadessia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hades with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.004 billion Hadessians 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 large, 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 Thesprotia. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadessian economy, worth a remarkable 2,128 trillion Deses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 236,402 Deses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadessia's national animal is the jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hadesu.

Hadessia is ranked 11,659^th in the world and 755^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 116,829.14 Standard Monetary Units.
