The Incorporated States of Hyperbia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Eibon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.34 billion 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 government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tast. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Online tourism reviews of Hyperbia are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar, the country is preparing for war, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and the military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hyperbia's national animal is the Shoggoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the tulu metal.

Hyperbia is ranked 2nd in Pyoko and 130,795th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -26 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
