The Theocracy of Hyperion Towers is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Triumvir Noblesse with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.472 billion Towerians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyperion. The average income tax rate is 71.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Towerian economy, worth 280 trillion Coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 113,663 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens must pay to enjoy Hyperion Towers's pristine beaches, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperion Towers's national animal is the Wasp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant.
Hyperion Towers is ranked 182,551st in the world and 2,432nd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 596.78 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
