The Empire of Hamronica is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 20.214 billion Hamronicans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Law & Order and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamronica City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hamronican economy, worth a remarkable 7,090 trillion wargs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 350,769 wargs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hamronica's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hamronica is ranked 3,006^th in the world and 54^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 227.21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
