The Democratic People's Republic of Hyphen is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.472 billion Hyphenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Hyphenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 179,283 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The proper etiquette for eating Hyphenian cuisine is to snort it, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art, and dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyphen's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Hyphen is ranked 2,805th in the world and 113th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,724.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
