The Stand of The Handd is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning Vulture population. The hard-working population of 13.091 billion Handdians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The Handdian economy, worth 655 trillion Pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 50,088 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. The Handd's national animal is the Vulture.

The Handd is ranked 37,904^th in the world and 762^nd in Artificial Solar System for Most Primitive, scoring 64.03 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
