The Kingdom of Hunterdon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Joseph III with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.999 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hunterdonian economy, worth 530 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 177,028 ducats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 669,106 per year while the poor average 32,587, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Hunterdonian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the children of Hunterdon are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. 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 9,696^th in the world and 271^st in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 121.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
