The Flight of The Hippogriff is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.017 billion Hippogriffians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 25.3%.

The Hippogriffian economy, worth 126 trillion Galleons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,865 Galleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hippogriff's national animal is the Hippogriff, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Hippogriff is ranked 119,780^th in the world and 1,084^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 14.44 flags saluted per person per day.
