The Empire of Hiyya is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Grogu with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 947 million Hiyyans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiyyapolis. The average income tax rate is 9.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hiyyan economy, worth 107 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,681 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, the most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiyya's national animal is the Molly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hiyya is ranked 5,831^st in the world and 160^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 102,767.85 Standard Monetary Units.
