The People's Republic of Hypany is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.888 billion Hypans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dynestrograd. The average income tax rate is 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hypan economy, worth 190 trillion grinas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,678 grinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, voting is voluntary, and official Sermon-Free Zones are set-up around the nation's hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hypany's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Hypany is ranked 27,730^th in the world and 268^th in The Leftist Assembly for Smartest Citizens, with 58.64 quips per hour.
