The Insular Area of Hamburger Coast is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.105 billion Hamburger Coastians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 29.3%.

The powerhouse Hamburger Coastian economy, worth 185 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,999 Imperial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, black gold is looking more brown these days, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Hamburger Coastian citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hamburger Coast's national animal is the Island Doggo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hamburger Coast is ranked 163,019^th in the world and 1^st in Hamburger for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 351.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
