The Empire of Hileville is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Dennrick Hile with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed population of 4.286 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantopia. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Tourism.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Hileville, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hileville's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Lutheranism, and its currency is the Hile.

Hileville is ranked 1,546th in the South Pacific and 39,771st in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 142 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
