The Confederacy of Hamptoria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President
Robert Hampton with an even
hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.992 billion Hamptorians 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 Hamptorian economy, worth 112 trillion Generals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and
Trout Farming. Average income is 56,541 Generals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government is a bestseller, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Hamptorian Space Agency, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending
government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable
police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamptoria's national
animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national
religion is Christianity.
