The Kingdom of Hunterdon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Joseph III with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 3.016 billion Hunterdonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hunterdon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hunterdonian economy, worth 534 trillion ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,162 ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 650,026 per year while the poor average 34,178, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunterdon's national animal is the ermine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Hunterdon is ranked 20,391^st in the world and 368^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,083.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
