Background: Founded by the strongest being on the planet, the Empire of Gamma Ray Creatures functions as the only safe haven on Earth for those creatures mutated by gamma radiation. The most powerful beings in society serve as an elite class that rules arbitrarily, with the Hulk functioning as the de facto President. The rest of society is made up of weaker, mutated humans that have been exposed to vast amounts of radiation and eek out their pitiful lives.
Location: Found in the Radiation Belt: A region devestated by the testing of nuclear weapons, the Radiation Belt is only for the strongest nations because only the strong can survive its harsh environment. The center of power in the Radiation Belt is the Empire of Gamma Ray Creatures, a nation of horribly mutated, but incredibly powerful, beings.
Climate: Often unbearably hot, punctuated by brief but severe snow storms.
Natural resources: A large source of Uranium and nuclear fuel, all though the government has little interest in tapping such resources unless it suits their needs. Most resource refining is done by those in the elite class with some personal desire for wealth.
Land use: Growing is mostly limited to artificially constructed botanical gardens, of which the elite class gets primary access to. The soil has been mostly destroyed from radiation and inclimate weather, leaving only small portions of land farmable.
Population: 29 Million (est. at time of posting)
Life expectancy at birth: total population: 40 years; the life span of the majority of the population is extremely short due harsh living conditions and genetic damage due to mutation.
Many in the elite class have extraordinarily extended life spans.
Government
Country name: Empire of Gamma Ray Creatures
abbreviation: EGRC, all though it is often simply called "Hulkland"
Government type: Arbitrary rule by President and elitist oligarchy
Capital: Dystopia
National holiday: Ground Zero Day, the day the Hulk was born.
Legal system: Arbitrary legal system imposed by the elite.
Executive branch: chief of state: The Hulk acts as de facto President
head of government: Prime Minister Leonard Samson acts as the head of a symbolic government, serves at the leisure of the President
cabinet: The Hulk often relies on the advice, when asked, of other elites in society.
elections: There are no free and fair elections.
International organization participation: Membership in the UN, all though The Empire often threatens resignation
Flag description: Three horizontal stripes, two green and one gray, representing the various skin colors the Hulk has developed over time. The Hulk's face has been imposed over the horizontal stripes.

Economy
Economy - overview: Despite the lack of freedoms, the government allows a nearly unregulated market economy for its citizens. Most large industry is run by the elite class utilizing cheap labor from the lower class citizenry.
Military
Military overview - The Empire of Gamma Ray Creatures does not possess a traditional military force per se. Instead, the defense of the nation rests on the incredibly powerful elite class, which is endowed with incredible powers, most notably superstrength. The President deals with most security issues himself, but when he finds the situation requires it, assembles ad hoc groups of fellow mutates into a military force nicknamed the "Hulkbusters."
Military expenditures - percent of GDP: 79%, mostly used for research & development and "standard of living" for the Commanders of the Hulkbusters.
