Background

The United States of Foe Hammer started out as a small nation of five million emigrants from many different nations, wishing to form a government aiming for the success of both the people and the corporations. This proved horridly ineffective, as corporations' desires to succeed by any means neccessary conflicted with the safety and freedom of the people. Many forms of government would be adopted by what some called a "bureaucratic guinea pig."

After a socialist revolution, many aspects of the Hammerian economy were controlled by the governing body (examples of this are the Foe Hammer Armament/Foe Hammer Weapons corporation, an international weapons dealer with their headquarters and manufactories in Foe Hammer). While resulting in lower taxes (due to the profits of such corporations being syphoned into the national budget), this caused many other businesses in such categories to fear the creation of a government-operated monopoly. After many military conflicts, allowed to occur due to the relatively lax requirements of declaring war, Foe Hammer's socialist government soon found itself teetering on the edge of extinction, a multinational commitee in it's place. While the socialist movement still existed, it's ousting paved the way for other more effective and friendly forms of government.

In 133AC, the commitee was retired. To this day, the Hammerian government refuses to comment on methods used to rid Foe Hammer of the commitee. In 139AC, after 6 years of rule under the belt of a temporary government, Foe Hammer's citizens voted 77%-20%-3% to form a loose cross between Democracy and an Empire. While the civil rights and political freedoms of this nationstate began to rise, so did the economy with the business- and individual-friendly documents and laws. 273 years after the formation of this odd form of government, Foe Hammer's form of government was converted to a pseudo-imperial body, maintaining the civil rights and political freedoms of the citizens, while introducing three new positions:

• Emperor/Empress
• City-state Representitive
• Hammerian Guard

The Hammerian Empire remains the most popular form of government among the Hammerian citizens, thanks to a frighteningly powerful economy, outstanding civil rights and average political freedoms. Many Hammerian citizens are positive that the Hammerian Empire is the best available option, and thus, it remains to this day.

National Anthem of Foe Hammer

The legally-recognized National Anthem, spoken in Traditional Hammerian, was named on August 7, 2449. Entitled Ķŷrestŏkjini Kzátk Ðrezd (Stand, Hammerians, Valiently), it is sometimes sung in English for the sake of internationality. On most occasions, the traditional Hammerian version is sung. Ķŷrestŏkjini Kzátk Ðrezd (Stand, Hammerians, Valiently) in Traditional Hammerian:
Kzátk Ðrezd, zyvêten myari -
kêyre dost jya notêm.
Syan tji Kzátk Ðrezd,
yë ryuji nekyet tyujëk.
Aryàt, zyvêten, sàccyus,
Vroktyde dost synctus svek.
Erani tzatka tyurei,
Tji kyi zrikya Ðrezdjini.
Svirit tji reyji nocta zyre
Aeternalis et kyi.

Ķŷrestŏkjini Kzátk Ðrezd (Stand, Hammerians, Valiently) in English:
Stand fast, faithful breth'ren -
trials, they surround us.
Yet we shall stand fast,
and make our name known to all.
Rise, brethren, take arms,
Enemies, they seek us out.
United through our bloodlines,
We fight as one, together.
And we, in soul, shall conquer all
Eternally as one.
