The Guardian State of Hashishin is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Old Man with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.568 billion Assassins enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alamut Castle. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hashishinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,323 trillion Daggers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,822 Daggers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fate of the world literally rests on The Old Man's fingers, the green glow is a sign of clean energy, in a fit of passion The Old Man has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and people caught mistreating Hashishin's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Hashishin's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Assassins.

Hashishin is ranked 64,149^th in the world and 4^th in The Wandering Desert for Most Developed, scoring 73.04 on the Human Development Index.
