The Grand Duchy of Imperial Hactield is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.826 billion Imperial Hactieldians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imperial Hactieldian economy, worth 482 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,655 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, private law firms are unheard of, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Hactield's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperial Hactield is ranked 74,784^th in the world and 4,143^rd in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,880.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
