The Disputed Territories of Hadrosaurus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.384 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All industry is owned and run by the government, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime is totally unknown. Hadrosaurus's national animal is the dinosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the fossil.

Hadrosaurus is ranked 8th in New Jersey and 87,882nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
