The Democratic People's Republic of Hyphen is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.363 billion Hyphenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Hyphenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,693 trillion pounds 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 impressive 180,840 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
The children of Hyphen are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Hyphen are highly popular tourist destinations, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyphen's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Hyphen is ranked 10,072nd in the world and 252nd in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 17.7 Obesity Rate.
