The 47th Secretary of State of Cordell Hull is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.015 billion Cordell Hullians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The strong Cordell Hullian economy, worth 462 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 51,271 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 330,449 per year while the poor average 3,214, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cordell Hull's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Cordell Hull is ranked 231,965^th in the world and 8,824^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
