The People's Democratic Republic of Hyphen is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.549 billion Hyphenians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggsdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Hyphenian economy, worth 631 trillion pacific dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,431 pacific dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 385,533 per year while the poor average 16,205, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.
A baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, children are shocked to find others "just like them" when they are taken out of the forest, and police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyphen's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
Hyphen is ranked 86,719th in the world and 1,476th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 73.43 Workforce Participation Rate.
