The Guardian State of Hashishin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Old Man with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.206 billion Assassins enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alamut Castle. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hashishinian economy, worth 765 trillion Daggers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,108 Daggers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The studies of art and philosophy are banned, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hashishin's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Assassins.

Hashishin is ranked 127,154^th in the world and 8^th in Bisexual for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63 law-abiding acts per hour.
