The Imperial Shogunate of Hyra is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shogun Empress Yumi Kawamura with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.04 billion Hyrans 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kusong. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hyran economy, worth 445 trillion Hyran Yen 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 led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 34,194 Hyran Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hyra has designated Kusong as its capital city and Shogun Empress Yumi Kawamura has just been declared ruler of Hyra in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyra's national animal is the Hyran Blue Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Hyra is ranked 32,014^th in the world and 31^st in Estovakia for Largest Populations, with 13.0 billion capita.
