The Queendom of The Hard Part is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Regina Aemalia with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.777 billion Hard Partians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dickensville. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hard Partian economy, worth a remarkable 3,449 trillion Weiners a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,015 Weiners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime is totally unknown. The Hard Part's national animal is the Echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

The Hard Part is ranked 13,760^th in the world and 5^th in Equinox for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
