The Empire of Hyptian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Xander with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.45 billion Hyptianians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Hyptianian economy, worth 292 trillion marks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 amazing 201,956 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 856,927 per year while the poor average 30,700, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.

The new Hyptianian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, and the public transport system has been eliminated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyptian's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Hyptian is ranked 9,855^th in the world and 513^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,932.26 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
