The Kingdom of Hartongia

The Kingdom of Hartongia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate, cynical population of 18 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

Compassionate yet cynical? At first I thought the two must be mutually exclusive but, the more I think about it, it’s a pretty good description.

I’m sure you must be wondering. This is from a description of “my” country as it exists online at NationStates.
