The Empire of Chief Hyne is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 4.565 billion Chief Hyneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Chief Hynean economy, worth 242 trillion Galactic Credit Standards a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,089 Galactic Credit Standards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, edutainment video games are taking Chief Hyne's students to the next level, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chief Hyne's national animal is the Akk dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chief Hyne is ranked 172,680^th in the world and 12^th in Ferrix for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 325.34 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
