The Empire of HimDyr is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Lance Boltone with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.185 billion HimDyrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Lyron. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.7%.

The strong HimDyrian economy, worth 477 trillion Hessls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 92,140 Hessls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,728 per year while the poor average 17,317, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, it is often said that only Emperor Lance Boltone could bring down Dàguó, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and citizens can't decide whether to be proud or horrified by the country's colonial history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HimDyr's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The New Panetheon.

HimDyr is ranked 214,442^nd in the world and 23^rd in Teremara for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 19.74 Effective Tax Rate.
