The Dictatorship of The Hilwestroustand is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Phoenix Supreme with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.66 billion Hilwesters 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Histonia. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hilwestroustandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,883 trillion mahrcs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 120,257 mahrcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, the government snoops on private internet connections, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hilwestroustand's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Hilwestroustand is ranked 15,718^th in the world and 11^th in Hartfelden for Most Corrupt Governments, with 118.21 kickbacks per hour.
