The Democratic People's Republic of Hyphen is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.395 billion Hyphenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 90.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Hyphenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,692 trillion pounds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 180,101 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
There's nothing special about Leader, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyphen's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Hyphen is ranked 2,892nd in the world and 122nd in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,551.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
