The Most Serene Republic of Corrupt Hyness is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.533 billion Corrupt Hynessians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The frighteningly efficient Corrupt Hynessian economy, worth 291 trillion Star Rods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,121 Star Rods, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corrupt Hyness's national animal is the Fire Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
