The Commonwealth of Hannoven is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.733 billion Hannovenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hannover. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hannovenian economy, worth 582 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 213,293 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms. Crime is totally unknown. Hannoven's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hannoven is ranked 5,482^nd in the world and 231^st in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 94.1 on the Human Development Index.
