The Multiple Heads of Rock Hydra is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrHydra with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, triple-decker prams, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.483 billion Rock Hydrans 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 prioritizes Industry, with Education, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HydraCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Rock Hydran economy, worth a remarkable 5,442 trillion hydra heads 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 black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Arms 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 impressive 153,386 hydra heads, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.
Adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, the country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content, animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild, and lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how MrHydra is spelt now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rock Hydra's national animal is the hydra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.
Rock Hydra is ranked 283,708th in the world and 187th in Nederland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.17 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
