The United Empire of Hyponichtmallieturam is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Noel the III with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.877 billion Hyponians 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wellington. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hypo-Turamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,193 trillion Hypon Turams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,471 Hypon Turams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyponichtmallieturam's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tulipism.

Hyponichtmallieturam is ranked 19,017^th in the world and 413^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 99.09 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
