The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Hipearia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.972 billion Hipearians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novora. The average income tax rate is 66.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hipearian economy, worth 532 trillion Candy Cane Gold Bars 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 133,959 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and meteorologists warn of fog just past 4pm daily. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hipearia's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vulpalianism.

Hipearia is ranked 270,060th in the world and 6th in World of Lostoria for Most Primitive, scoring -158.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
