The Federation of Hypermeridionalis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, flagrant waste-dumping, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.198 billion Hypermeridionalisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Hypermeridionalisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,715 trillion Gods a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 433,084 Gods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,707,663 per year while the poor average 74,455, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.
Many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, reddish-brown is the new black, and contestants on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionheir?' have a 50:50 chance of humiliation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Hypermeridionalis's national animal is the Demon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Hypermeridionalis is ranked 1,170th in the world and 9th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 120.91 flags saluted per person per day.
