The Socialist Republica of Hyima is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Donald Khamenei with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.997 billion HYIMANESE 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanab. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient HYIMANESE economy, worth 257 trillion Lans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,769 Lans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, the Hanging Gardens account for half of Kanab's water use, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyima's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Economism.

Hyima is ranked 48,567^th in the world and 1^st in Control andOrder for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,130.94 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
