The State of Ha Noi is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12.849 billion Ha Noians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ha Noian economy, worth 97.1 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is 7,559 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, military spending is on the increase, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ha Noi's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ha Noi is ranked 178,152^nd in the world and 6^th in The Southern Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 49.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
