The Kingdom of Hintera is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.402 billion Hinterans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Hinteran economy, worth 24.6 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 17,553 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A major religion has been named as Hintera's national religion, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, Hintera recently decided against having a capital city, and the Federal Council of Hintera has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hintera's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hintera is ranked 165,313^th in the world and 4^th in The Holy League of the Realms of Order for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 68.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
