The Principality of Hunternia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Glorious Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.329 billion Hunternians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kangaria. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hunternian economy, worth a remarkable 1,793 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,151 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The best-of-the-best athletes have been replaced by the best-of-the-mediocre, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, and military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunternia's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hunternia is ranked 30,541^st in the world and 806^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,649.52 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
