The Federal Republic of Hassyia is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The democratic population of 8 million Hassyians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hassyian economy, worth 334 billion Hasnaininyans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,750 Hasnaininyans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is banned, the fastest way to the afterlife is to bet on it, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Hassyia's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hassyia is ranked 100,985^th in the world and 366^th in Talonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,052.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
