The Never-Ending Birthday Party of Hikikiomori is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Victoria K Wintony with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.27 billion Hikikiomori are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Battlefield. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The very strong Hikikiomori economy, worth 988 trillion digits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,737 digits, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Hikikiomori's national animal is the pocky and its national religion is Unconventional Warfare.

Hikikiomori is ranked 44,722nd in the world and 2,470th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 46.94 kickbacks per hour.
