The Most Illustrious Empire of Hasyl is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Esteban Exio von Arcadia-Sova with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.301 billion Hasylians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Le'Qios. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hasylian economy, worth 526 trillion Kiron Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,380 Kiron Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, skateparks can be found in every city, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hasyl's national animal is the Garwoodian Black Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Hasyl is ranked 17,170^th in the world and 38^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,685.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
