The Realm of H2O is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Water Cleric with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 9.485 billion H2Oians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Water. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The very strong H2Oian economy, worth 738 trillion waters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 77,849 waters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,453 per year while the poor average 19,795, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Artists are pillars of society, Dolphin is one of the most popular forenames in H2O, the treehouse in Dolphin Park is the tallest building in H2O, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. H2O's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Water.

H2O is ranked 105,238^th in the world and 3^rd in Water for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
