The Federal Kingdom of Hydra Dragon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Aluna I with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 10.902 billion Federal Hydrans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hydra City and Dragonvilia. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Federal Hydran economy, worth a remarkable 1,455 trillion Hydrals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,530 Hydrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hydra Dragon's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of Sora.

Hydra Dragon is ranked 63,140^th in the world and 43^rd in Thaecia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 28.98 kickbacks per hour.
