The Cat-run Empire of Commonwealth of Hank the Cat is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Hank the Cat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 23.933 billion Hanklyvanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hankpolis. The average income tax rate is 65.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hanklyvanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,430 trillion Treat Tokens a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,544 Treat Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Hankpolis" t-shirts, tumbleweed drifts through the nation's shopping centres during the weekends, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commonwealth of Hank the Cat's national animal is the Maine Coon Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Treatism.

Commonwealth of Hank the Cat is ranked 50,012^th in the world and 1,840^th in Balder for Highest Drug Use, scoring 277.64 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
