The United Empire of Hyponichtmallieturam is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Noel the III with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless population of 8.076 billion Hyponians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wellington. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hyponichtian economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 trillion Hypon Turams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,624 Hypon Turams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, and on-duty Air Hyponichtmallieturam flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyponichtmallieturam's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tulipism.

Hyponichtmallieturam is ranked 152,184^th in the world and 3,810^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 253.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
