The Commonwealth of Hanoveria is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Matthew Thomas with an even hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.233 billion 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 medium-sized government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Commerce and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hawkesbury. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Gambling and Book Publishing.

Otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS, the arms industry is strictly regulated, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Crime is moderate. Hanoveria's national animal is the Wendell Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Pence.

Hanoveria is ranked 108th in British Isles and 16,312th in the world for Longest Average Lifespans, scoring 22 on the Enoch Index.
