The Kingdom of Hunterdon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Joseph III with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 3.065 billion Hunterdonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hunterdon. The average income tax rate is 38.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hunterdonian economy, worth 536 trillion ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,137 ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunterdon's national animal is the ermine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Hunterdon is ranked 10,541^st in the world and 233^rd in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 397.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
