The Semi-Empire of Hamborn is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Columb Nalim with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.422 billion Hambornians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alkőmen-Alesia. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hambornian economy, worth 224 trillion franc hambordiens a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,869 franc hambordiens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, and multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamborn's national animal is the Polux Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist.

Hamborn is ranked 254,447^th in the world and 3,427^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -21.13 on the Hayek Index.
