The Tribe of Hunkpapa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sitting Bull with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.748 billion Hunkpapas 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Standing Rock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The strong Hunkpapa economy, worth 269 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,846 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,140 per year while the poor average 15,593, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and a major religion has been named as Hunkpapa's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hunkpapa's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hunkpapa is ranked 118,535^th in the world and 21^st in Terranova for Most Developed, scoring 58.61 on the Human Development Index.
