The United Kingdom of Great Hanover is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by HM King Louis II with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.084 billion Great Hanoverians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdon. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Great Hanoverian economy, worth 709 trillion Hanoverian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,119 Hanoverian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Hanover's national animal is the Hanoverian Appaloosa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Great Hanover is ranked 83,170^th in the world and 439^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,052.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
