The Unitary Sovereign Republic of The Hanzanburg Union is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme President Hansen Heinrichson V with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 18.845 billion Hanzanburgians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hansenborough City. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hanzanburgish economy, worth a remarkable 4,004 trillion Hanzanburgian Zandmarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,473 Hanzanburgian Zandmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hanzanburg Union's national animal is the Golden Emperor Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Buddhism.

The Hanzanburg Union is ranked 266,064^th in the world and 36^th in The Embassy for Fattest Citizens, with 6.84 Obesity Rate.
