The Great Noble Principality of Huben is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by August III with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 8.166 billion Hubenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franzfeld. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hubenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,558 trillion Zoiches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 190,910 Zoiches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lavish state dinners in Franzfeld are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and cops in Franzfeld spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Huben's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vedulism-Britneyism.

Huben is ranked 2,307^th in the world and 3^rd in KAISERREICH for Lowest Crime Rates, with 139.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
