The Holy Winter Kingdom of Rhino Hypolan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.359 billion Hypolanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rhino Hypolanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,634 trillion Candy Canes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 357,937 Candy Canes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, and women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rhino Hypolan's national animal is the Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Rhino Hypolan is ranked 13,740^th in the world and 8^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,344.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
