The Conqueror of Hannibal Barcas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 28.89 billion Hannibal Barcasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carthage. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hannibal Barcasian economy, worth a remarkable 4,812 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 166,582 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

There are fifty shades of yellow in outdoor swimming pools, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, teddy bears and pajamas have replaced briefcases and suits in Hannibal Barcas's offices, and citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hannibal Barcas's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hannibal Barcas is ranked 30,561^st in the world and 1,981^st in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 71.02 kickbacks per hour.
