The Empire of U Hayde is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 104 million U Haydeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.
The U Haydean economy, worth 4.55 trillion Degree Celsiuses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,746 Degree Celsiuses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,586 per year while the poor average 2,698, a ratio of 105 to 1.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. U Hayde's national animal is the Stevie, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
U Hayde is ranked 289,195th in the world and 2nd in Degree for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
