The Holy Winter Kingdom of Rhino Hypolan is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.39 billion Hypolanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 North Pole. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhino Hypolanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,644 trillion Candy Canes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 357,789 Candy Canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and GDP growth is the preferred altar of national worship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhino Hypolan's national animal is the Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rhino Hypolan is ranked 328,490^th in the world and 43^rd in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -15.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
