The Legacy of Hanne IV is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lady Hanne with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 27.527 billion Hanners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hannel. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Hannen economy, worth 671 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,407 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hanne IV has designated Hannel as its capital city, Lady Hanne has just been declared ruler of Hanne IV in an international press conference, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, and truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanne IV's national animal is the spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Worship of Hanne.

Hanne IV is ranked 202,132^nd in the world and 2^nd in Arden for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.26 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
