The Futile Vigilance of Hind-sight is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Epimetheus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.573 billion Hind-sightians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Archives. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hind-sightian economy, worth 477 trillion predictions a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,010 predictions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, the news is showing footage of Epimetheus bullying an old man to the point of tears, glamping Hind-sightians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-predictions treacle machine. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hind-sight's national animal is the omen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Winning the Last War.

Hind-sight is ranked 51,279^th in the world and 4^th in The Bobcat Nation for Safest, scoring 102.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
