The Republic of Hanwan is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12 million Hans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.3%.

The Hanwanese economy, worth 709 billion Hanwanese Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,121 Hanwanese Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, private law firms are unheard of, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanwan's national animal is the Red Panda.

Hanwan is ranked 214,170^th in the world and 3,155^th in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 73.18 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
