The Universe crushing powerhouse of Hiloooooo is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Roomba Man with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.039 billion gregories are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sever Room. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Hilooooooan economy, worth 142 trillion taxes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,440 taxes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 496,121 per year while the poor average 27,199, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, parents are shocked to find out that having kids costs money, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiloooooo's national animal is the Chinook, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hilooooooanism.

Hiloooooo is ranked 34,332nd in the world and 2nd in The Union of Imperialist Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,911.96 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
