Nationstates Description
The Empire of Hrydonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 401 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings." The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Soda Sales and Gambling. Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, skateparks can be found in every city, and army rations are served on silver platters. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Hrydonia's national animal is the hyperactive teenager, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests
Government
The Empire of Hrydonia is currently a dictatorship, however maintaining all the appearances of the former constitutional monarchy. The government is divided into three branches, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch is headed de facto by the Emperor but de jure by the Prime Minister. Legislative branch is composed of Parliament, which is bicameral and consists of the upper house, or the Senate, and the lower branch, or the National Assembly. The Judicial Branch is composed of the Supreme Court. Parliament is weak and is used lately mostly for unanimously approving the Emperor's policies. The current prime minister is also little more than a crony and puppet of the Emperor, as the prime ministers have been since the reign of Maximillian the Fourth back in the 1820s.
Military The four branches of the Hrydonian military fall under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Ministry of War. The Imperial Armed Forces are organized similarly to most militaries the world over, in the form of an Army, Navy, Air Force, and Imperial Marine Corps. Each branch has a strength of 2,005,000 service members.
Foreign Relations Hrydonia tends to stay isolationist regarding the world at large, and indeed does not have any formal relations with any country.

On Surveillance
Most people have a small chip implanted in them that holds financial information, their name, and about anything else that a scanner would need to know. This system of surgically implanted chips has replaced the credit card, checking accounts, and even lunch cards and student IDs with few exceptions, the few exceptions being either those born illegally or without a doctor in attendance or one of the small religious sects that believes that it is immoral to 'go under the knife ', but that group is rather small, and made smaller by sporadic governmental persecution, and only numbers in the hundreds anyway.
