The Grand Megastate of The Holy Red Dotty Empire is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Endorsius XIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.729 billion Endorsed People are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Endorsidia. The average income tax rate is 23.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient HRDEyan economy, worth 171 trillion Endorsements a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 99,243 Endorsements, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Holy Red Dotty Empire's national animal is the Endorsed Animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Endorsementism.

The Holy Red Dotty Empire is ranked 207,902^nd in the world and 4,510^th in Lazarus for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.38 crimes per hour.
