The Fiefdom of Hibanny is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.605 billion Hibannyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The Hibannyian economy, worth 218 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,334 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hibanny's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hibanny is ranked 93,238^th in the world and 1^st in Alpha Corvus for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.51 percentage of bribes refused.
