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

The Republic of Hiybkk is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 447 million Hiybkkians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miscaw. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.

The all-consuming Hiybkkian economy, worth 48.6 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,751 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, the government spends billions to protect Hiybkk from a disaster that is one in a million, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiybkk's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hiybkk is ranked 271,773^rd in the world and 403^rd in United Kingdom for Most Beautiful Environments, with 38.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
