Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Meritocracy of Huntertopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Elected Chairman Stefan LaCroix with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5.856 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 juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Omicron. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Huntertopia's national animal is the whitetail deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Imperfect Deism, and its currency is the yen.

Huntertopia is ranked 3rd in Aphroditean Empire and 13,585th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
