The Commonwealth of Hippie Kiwis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Gregory Lukin with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.39 billion Kiwis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markov. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiwish economy, worth a remarkable 8,635 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 315,295 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, everything stops come summertime, foreign aid is a seedy business, and dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hippie Kiwis's national animal is the Pouakai, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Kiwish Cetic Church.

Hippie Kiwis is ranked 302,875^th in the world and 813^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
