The Federation of Hypermeridionalis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 186 million Hypermeridionalisians, 6 million of whom are zombies, are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Hypermeridionalisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,569 trillion Gods a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 432,170 Gods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,684,205 per year while the poor average 75,731, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.

Baize on snooker tables has been stripped for "appearing too hedonistic", giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, government employees from Hypermeridionalis dominate international lumberjack competitions, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Hypermeridionalis's national animal is the Demon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hypermeridionalis is ranked 271,816th in the world and 3,094th in the West Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 16,422.47 Standard Monetary Units.
