The BTM Vassal of Hindikubalan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Beloved Socialist Revolutionary with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.685 billion Hindikubalanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forrestias. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Hindikubalanian economy, worth 498 trillion Neo-Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 135,152 Neo-Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hindikubalan's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Voluntary Secularism.
Hindikubalan is ranked 177,137th in the world and 1st in BTM Puppet Storage for Most Stationary, with 84.53639034112 days.
