The Armed Republic of The Hamster Liberation Army is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 127 million Hamster Liberation Armyians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hamster Liberation Armyian economy, worth 5.62 trillion Hamsterian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,250 Hamsterian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hamster Liberation Army's national animal is the Hamster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Hamster Liberation Army is ranked 93,373^rd in the world and 64^th in Declansburg for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,762.3 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
