The Unitary Sovereign Republic of The Hanzanburg Union is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Supreme President Hansen Heinrichson V with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 13.775 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 2,945 trillion Hanzanburgian Zandmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led 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 213,858 Hanzanburgian Zandmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, nations across the world are quick to praise Supreme President Hansen Heinrichson V's good looks and intellectual prowess, and religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs. 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 Emperor Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Buddhism.

The Hanzanburg Union is ranked 10,314^th in the world and 4^th in The Embassy for Most Corrupt Governments, with 152.56 kickbacks per hour.
