The Shoot Across The Sky of Hymn for the Weekend is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Beyonce with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.942 billion Hymn for the Weekendians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a head full of dreams. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hymn for the Weekendian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion coldplays a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,182 coldplays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, lending money has become a major liability, and mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hymn for the Weekend's national animal is the chris martin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is making my world light up.

Hymn for the Weekend is ranked 200,188th in the world and 98th in Stereo Hearts for Most Stationary, with 46.96606716392 days.
