The Democratic States of Hardymania is a huge, safe nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 713 million Hardymanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairfax. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hardymanian economy, worth 38.6 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,098 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hardymania's national animal is the French Bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hardymania is ranked 17,984^th in the world and 23^rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,258.05 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
