The Federal Republic of Hameed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Lewis Shaw with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.177 billion Hameedians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenira. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hameedian economy, worth a remarkable 2,010 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,613 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, equality looks curiously unequal, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hameed's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Hameed is ranked 12,526^th in the world and 1^st in Asterah for Highest Food Quality, scoring 146.34 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
