The Kingdom of Hadess is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yves Saint Laurent with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.054 billion Hadessians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hades City. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hadessian economy, worth 136 trillion Hades Pounds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,347 Hades Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is strictly regulated, every workday begins with group therapy, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hadess's national animal is the Woolly Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hadess is ranked 16,272^nd in the world and 287^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,172.05 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
