The Federal Union of Hansdeltania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Roman Pavlenko with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 17.997 billion Hansdeltanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hansdelta. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hansdeltanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,284 trillion hansdeltanoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,505 hansdeltanoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Hansdeltanian politicians, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, voting is compulsory, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hansdeltania's national animal is the Hansdeltanian eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is secular humanism.

Hansdeltania is ranked 277,193^rd in the world and 24^th in The Roleplaying Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -40.02 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
