The United Federal Republics of Ham Federation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Karlotta with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 12.892 billion Hamians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flemery. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,941 trillion Doll Hairs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,574 Doll Hairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, lawyers are ordering red ink and 'Cease and Desist' rubber stamps in preparation for the return of copyright law, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ham Federation's national animal is the Hindslavic Hog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ham Federation is ranked 184,892^nd in the world and 3,595^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 174.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
