The Most Illustrious Empire of Hasyl is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Esteban Exio von Arcadia-Sova with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.335 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 isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Le'Qios. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hasylian economy, worth 535 trillion Kiron Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,474 Kiron Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, concussed Garwoodian Black Wolfball players cannot remember their lineup position, the newest shade developed by Hasyl's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out". 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 120,933^rd in the world and 116^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,741.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
