The Shoot Across The Sky of Hymn for the Weekend is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Beyonce with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.142 billion Hymn for the Weekendians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a head full of dreams. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hymn for the Weekendian economy, worth a remarkable 1,349 trillion coldplays a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,578 coldplays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

'Chris Martinnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, Hymn for the Weekendians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hymn for the Weekend's national animal is the chris martin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is making my world light up.

Hymn for the Weekend is ranked 20,552nd in the world and 81st in Stereo Hearts for Most Corrupt Governments, with 98.53 kickbacks per hour.
