The Hamsterian Republic of Hamma is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Hamma von Hamma with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.651 billion Hammen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamma City. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hamman economy, worth 904 trillion Hammerian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,947 Hammerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Hamma City" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, and bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamma's national animal is the Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hamma.

Hamma is ranked 4,522^nd in the world and 7^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Developed, scoring 95.34 on the Human Development Index.
