The Fluffy Hamsters of Hamster City is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrHamster with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, triple-decker prams, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 30.8 billion Hamster Cityians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HamsterCapital. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Hamster Cityian economy, worth a remarkable 3,968 trillion carrots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,845 carrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

From the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Hamster City, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, Bambi has been banned, and the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamster City's national animal is the hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Hamster City is ranked 3,786th in the world and 61st in Nederland for Most Stationary, with 3,562.7060532 days.
