Average income is 91,863 lán yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, much of Hanchu's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and Lí Sengge's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hanchu's national animal is the Hanchu Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hanchuan Cthulism.
