The Democratic States of Hardymania is a huge, genial nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 661 million Hardymanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fairfax. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hardymanian economy, worth 35.9 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,319 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", and sweet-toothed Hardymanians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy. 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 60,182^nd in the world and 93^rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,653.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
