The August Empire of Hippie Kiwis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Aregisel Alexandria with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.067 billion Kiwish are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Headstead. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kiwish economy, worth a remarkable 6,809 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 308,586 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Hippie Kiwis, vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime, faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers, and even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hippie Kiwis's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hippie Kiwis is ranked 10,965th in the world and 1st in The White Stag Republic for Most Stationary, with 2,222.0777098138 days.
