The Corporate Fleet of Hyperspatial Travel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Viceroy Cen Skyrzie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.233 billion Talythians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of First Landing. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hyperspatial Travelian economy, worth a remarkable 7,856 trillion Old Jumpers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 338,162 Old Jumpers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,976,720 per year while the poor average 5,608, a ratio of 530 to 1.

The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, it's always rabbit season, some say Viceroy Cen Skyrzie has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hyperspatial Travel's national animal is the Old Jumper, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Old Jumperism.

Hyperspatial Travel is ranked 272,787th in the world and 9,158th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 9.41723702852 days.
