The Cyber technocracy of New hydra and canceron is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Simon Henry Willis with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 3.407 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government is mainly concerned with Education, although Commerce and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of new hades. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Gambling.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a government program is underway to revitalize New hydra and canceron's beaches, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New hydra and canceron's national animal is the etherial water drake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is mithraism, and its currency is the silver claw.

New hydra and canceron is ranked 338th in The North Pacific and 12,323rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
