The Republic of Hyperion Card Farm is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 2.201 billion Hyperion Card Farmians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hyperion Card Farmian economy, worth 170 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 77,685 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperion Card Farm's national animal is the Card.

Hyperion Card Farm is ranked 28,585^th in the world and 4^th in The Hyperverse for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,724.66 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
