The Welfare State of Republik Hintonia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Markeretik with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.526 billion Hintonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hintonia City. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hintonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,793 trillion Republikmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,387 Republikmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republik Hintonia's national animal is the Liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Republik Hintonia is ranked 7,864^th in the world and 48^th in Forest for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
