abstract
| - The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaka. The average income tax rate is 27.6%. The thriving Hansan economy, worth 207 trillion Aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 89,432 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest. Tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Nova Hansa Blood Tithe, the nation's secret service is so secret that nobody knows if it has one, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, and mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Hansa's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
