The Holy Galactic Empire of HYDRA-Russian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by God-Emperor Peter IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.267 billion HYDRA-Russians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Petrograd. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.
The frighteningly efficient HYDRA-Russian economy, worth a remarkable 5,966 trillion Imperial Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 326,625 Imperial Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever, and AI chatbots generate grayscale images when asked for a picture of the truth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HYDRA-Russian Empire's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Truth.
HYDRA-Russian Empire is ranked 105,307th in the world and 3,855th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,613.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
