The Math State of Hypothesis Testing is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.828 billion Hypothesis Testingians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 49.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Hypothesis Testingian economy, worth 530 trillion Mathkorunas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,881 Mathkorunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, the military has adopted a weird double-fisted salute, holiday-makers leave on the same clandestine boats that illegal immigrants arrive in, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hypothesis Testing's national animal is the Graphs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hypothesis Testing is ranked 82,464^th in the world and 12^th in Mathematica for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,980.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
