The Matriarchy of Hacrela is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Svetlana with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 2.179 billion Hacrelans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mervale. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hacrelan economy, worth 338 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,487 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, prison visits increase substantially during election years, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hacrela's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Hacrela is ranked 6,727^th in the world and 203^rd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 126.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
