The Kingdom of Hypernord is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 229 million Hypernordians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The sizeable but inefficient Hypernordian economy, worth 9.19 trillion Jorviks a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,121 Jorviks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Hypernord's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hypernord is ranked 321,135^th in the world and 109^th in Der Leibwache for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -115.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
