The Republic of Hyperion Card Farm V is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.491 billion Hyperion Card Farm Vians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hyperion Card Farm Vian economy, worth 98.1 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 65,775 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperion Card Farm V's national animal is the Card.

Hyperion Card Farm V is ranked 229,090^th in the world and 26^th in The Hyperverse for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
