The Republic of Hiybkk is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 459 million Hiybkkians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miscaw. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.

The all-consuming Hiybkkian economy, worth 49.8 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,480 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiybkk's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Hiybkk is ranked 24,567^th in the world and 60^th in World Republic for Safest, scoring 111.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
