The Empire of Hanseatia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.865 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanseatia City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

A punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanseatia's national animal is the twin headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the hanseatic pound.

Hanseatia is ranked 37th in The East Pacific and 1,856th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
