The Hiphopopotamus of Jemaine Clement is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tamatoa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.983 billion Jemaine Clementians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiny. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Jemaine Clementian economy, worth 208 trillion goldmines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,279 goldmines, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,043 per year while the poor average 8,248, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the Jemaine Clementian cut of Apocalypse Now sets the helicopter scene to eerie silence, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Shiny, and Tamatoa has just been declared ruler of Jemaine Clement in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Jemaine Clement's national animal is the Funky crab.

Jemaine Clement is ranked 253,109^th in the world and 1^st in hippopotamuses for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 115.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
