The Federative Republic of Hipearia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Kristina Östlund with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ritual sacrifices, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.852 billion Hipearians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Növåra. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hipearian economy, worth a remarkable 2,037 trillion Hipearian Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 259,478 Hipearian Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Hipearia, a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to President Kristina Östlund, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hipearia's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vulpalianism.

Hipearia is ranked 231,693^rd in the world and 15^th in World of Lostoria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
