The Imperium of Husseberg is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kaiser Reinhold II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.588 billion Hussans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumenland. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hussebergian economy, worth 728 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,863 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, an increasing number of knights in shining armor suffer from PTSD, and the Hussebergian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Husseberg's national animal is the Ferrets, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Husseberg is ranked 80,085^th in the world and 1,204^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,673.44 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
