The Unitary Sovereign Republic of The Hanzanburg Union is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme President Hansen Heinrichson V with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 15.281 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 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hanzanburgish economy, worth a remarkable 3,211 trillion Hanzanburgian Zandmarks a year, is 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 210,140 Hanzanburgian Zandmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. 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 Golden Emperor Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Buddhism.

The Hanzanburg Union is ranked 2,620^th in the world and 3^rd in The Embassy for Largest Governments, scoring 51.68 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
