The Federative Republic of Hipearia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Kristina Östlund with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.839 billion Hipearians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Növåra. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hipearian economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Hipearian Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 259,021 Hipearian Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police insist that racism does not exist, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, and Hipearia is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Hipearia's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vulpalianism.

Hipearia is ranked 235,113^th in the world and 14^th in World of Lostoria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 36.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
