The Matriarchy of Hamadan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.459 billion Hamadanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The Hamadanian economy, worth 179 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,358 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Hamadan's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hamadan is ranked 211,368^th in the world and 1^st in Hamadan for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,139.65 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
