The Republic of Hannela is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning horse population. The quiet, industrious population of 7.934 billion Hannelans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hannelan economy, worth 262 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,100 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, genetic researchers have been expelled, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime is moderate. Hannela's national animal is the horse.

Hannela is ranked 227,214^th in the world and 2^nd in Springville Territory for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
