The Free Land of Hopetropolis is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its enforced nudity. The quiet, industrious population of 185 million Hopetropolisians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Hopetropolisian economy, worth 7.39 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,952 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hopetropolis's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hopetropolis is ranked 248,741^st in the world and 96^th in Iris for Largest Populations, with 185 million capita.
