(paragraph on demographic/culture/religion)

(paragraph on government/IR)

Since the end of the Second Hangoku Civil War, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Hangoku has seen yearly growth for almost 40 years, which currently sits at $549,989,258,274. Hangoku's economy has traditionally been driven by primary sector goods, however Hangoku has started to transition into the secondary and tertiary sectors, such as commerce, tourism and manufacturing . Hangoku is a newly industrialised mixed economy, with a high ranking Human Development Index and very high Gini coefficient. Hangoku's primary exports are automobiles, consumer goods and fish.

Etymology

The name for Hangoku comes from the Hangen characters '瀚' meaning ocean and '国' meaning country and is pronounced Hangoku or Hankoku.

Throughout most of the 20th century, Hangoku was known internationally as the Lotus Kingdom and later the Lotus Republic, the name being taken from the sea in which Hangoku is located. Following the Second Hangoku Civil War, the new government made an appeal to the international community to standardise the name in all languages as Hangoku.
