The Kingdom of Hunterdon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Joseph III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.993 billion Hunterdonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hunterdon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Hunterdonian economy, worth 526 trillion ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,851 ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 656,010 per year while the poor average 33,051, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.
Much of Hunterdon's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, people talk about things being better when men were men, and pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Hunterdonian roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunterdon's national animal is the ermine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Hunterdon is ranked 122,510th in the world and 2,206th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,605.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
