Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Directorates of Hypernorjislav is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Supreme Aetherite Assembly with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.092 billion Scotts are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aetherinburg Prime. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Hyper-Celtic economy, worth 107 trillion Hyper-Sayernas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,845 Hyper-Sayernas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hypernorjislav's national animal is the Voidosorite Summavus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Nameless Shroud.

Hypernorjislav is ranked 193,614^th in the world and 72^nd in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 693.27 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
