The People's commonwealth of Hardyism is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.99 billion Hardyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gainesville. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hardyian economy, worth 509 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,764 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals in Hardyism are too busy serving the needs of The East Pacific to see Hardyians, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hardyism's national animal is the Chesapeke Bay Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hardyism is ranked 7,278^th in the world and 164^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 173.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
