The Dominion of Haken Rider is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 1.257 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, the ban on cars has been repealed, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is well under control. Haken Rider's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.
