Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federation of Hickssylvania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Peter Lewis with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.241 billion Hickssylvanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. The average income tax rate is 27.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hickssylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,395 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 157,577 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police, the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, and lending firms are subject to strict government regulations. Crime is relatively low. Hickssylvania's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hickssylvania is ranked 50,923^rd in the world and 3,054^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,279.1 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
