The Holy Empire of Haedlia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.333 billion Haedlians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Haedlian economy, worth an astonishing 14,459 trillion newcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 570,788 newcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,702,188 per year while the poor average 149,875, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, hunters often become the hunted, and children are expected to carve their own toys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Haedlia's national animal is the yellow jacket, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Haedlia is ranked 22,166th in the world and 386th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,460.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
