The Sovereign Federation of Hill Billy is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign Munden Gunterfield with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.993 billion Austerns 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 large government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gran Munden. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Austern economy, worth 757 trillion rova-dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,716 rova-dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, schoolkids are often mistaken for fast food workers, where there's a will there is usually a password manager, and politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hill Billy's national animal is the golden brown turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Lyon.

Hill Billy is ranked 27,700^th in the world and 91^st in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
