The Study of Hydrology is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Hydrology Professor with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.097 billion Hydrologyians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Water. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hydrologyian economy, worth 968 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,306 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Hydrologyians, you're only as old as you feel, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hydrology's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Hydrology.

Hydrology is ranked 55,508^th in the world and 3^rd in Water for Largest Populations, with 11.1 billion capita.
