The Hydra Dynasty of Mountain Rogue is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mountain Rogue with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.565 billion Mountain Rogueans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appalachia. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mountain Roguean economy, worth 680 trillion Drakons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,071 Drakons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ill and injured visitors in Mountain Rogue have to walk it off until they return home, ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mountain Rogue's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Heathen.

Mountain Rogue is ranked 169,274^th in the world and 13^th in True Hydra Empire for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 276.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
