The Kingdom of Hadessia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hades with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 8.881 billion Hadessians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thesprotia. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Hadessian economy, worth a remarkable 2,087 trillion Deses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 235,009 Deses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, major cities run on potato batteries, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Thesprotia Jaguars against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadessia's national animal is the jaguar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hadesu.

Hadessia is ranked 69,399th in the world and 741st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 676.95888619048 days.
