The Constitutional Monarchy of Hinomia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 80 million Hinomians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 10.2%.

The powerhouse Hinomian economy, worth 6.60 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 82,511 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hinomia's national animal is the Green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hinomia is ranked 57,941^st in the world and 1,742^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 129.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
