The Federation of Royal Hybrids is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 551 million Royal Cerberians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cerberade. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Royal Hybridsian economy, worth 56.6 trillion Defiees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,810 Defiees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Royal Hybrids's national animal is the Cerberus the tiny dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Royal Hybrids is ranked 131,468^th in the world and 7,001^st in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 568.26 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
