The Absolute Monarchy of Hilverton is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, devout population of 4.838 billion Hilvertones are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Hilvertone economy, worth 315 trillion Hilvertone kwachas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,155 Hilvertone kwachas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,356 per year while the poor average 16,612, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, genetic researchers have been expelled, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Hilvertones. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Hilverton's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hilverton is ranked 183,770^th in the world and 13^th in Trinity Legion for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
