The Republic of Hippoki is a large, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 149 million Hippokians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Hippokian economy, worth 6.71 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,063 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hippoki's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Hippoki is ranked 68,014^th in the world and 33^rd in Edoca for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,503.82 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
