The Federation of Hatfieldia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 278 million Hatfieldians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hatfieldian economy, worth 17.4 trillion Carols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,667 Carols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime is totally unknown. Hatfieldia's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hatfieldia is ranked 135,687^th in the world and 40^th in Wintercrest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 530.86 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
