The Republic of Ignacio Hanque is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ignacio II with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.858 billion Ignacio Hanqueans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ignapolis. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ignacio Hanquean economy, worth a remarkable 3,186 trillion Ches a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,229 Ches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, it is often said that only Ignacio II could bring down Dàguó, rumor has it that Ignacio II has won three lotteries in a row, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Che treacle machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ignacio Hanque's national animal is the Kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ignacio Hanque is ranked 270,094^th in the world and 96^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -241.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
