The Hanso Foundation of Jedi Soccer Players is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jacob with an even hand, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.036 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jedi Soccer Players City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Jedi Soccer Players City Times is sold out, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jedi Soccer Players's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Bag of Gold.

Jedi Soccer Players is ranked 4th in Lost and 98,178th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
