The Maritime Kingdom of Hayfielda is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prince Davuod III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.573 billion Hayfieldans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shellstone. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hayfieldan economy, worth 188 trillion Hayfieldays a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 119,727 Hayfieldays, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the Shellstone State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee', more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and large sections of Hayfielda have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hayfielda's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Hayfielda is ranked 13,736^th in the world and 1^st in Kephria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,344.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
