The Principality of Han Islat is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.195 billion Han Islatians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Han Islatian economy, worth 156 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,991 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 491,401 per year while the poor average 24,402, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and people who have lived their entire lives in Han Islat are shocked to discover that they are not citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Han Islat's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Han Islat is ranked 125,255^th in the world and 104^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,158.38 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
