The Federal Union of Hansdeltania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Roman Pavlenko with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 17.948 billion Hansdeltanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hansdelta. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hansdeltanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,269 trillion hansdeltanoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,140 hansdeltanoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and every school is receiving a brand new eraser. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hansdeltania's national animal is the Hansdeltanian eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is secular humanism.

Hansdeltania is ranked 3,278^th in the world and 1^st in The Roleplaying Paradise for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 646.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
