The Empire of Hadria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Karl von Rosenburg II with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.002 billion Hadrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hadrianople. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hadrian economy, worth 88.5 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,315 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, taxmen are issued platinum-cap designer boots to kick bankrupted Hadrians when they're down, Wruhecism has been named as Hadria's national religion, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadria's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Wruhecism.

Hadria is ranked 252,312^th in the world and 137^th in KAISERREICH for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
