The Holy Empire of Hannesty is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 7.854 billion Hannestyians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.0%.

The very strong Hannestyian economy, worth 408 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,064 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,692 per year while the poor average 9,066, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime is a problem. Hannesty's national animal is the falcon.

Hannesty is ranked 11,176^th in the world and 1^st in United Chaos for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,386.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
