The ᴀʟʟ-ᴠᴀʟᴋʏʀɪᴇ's ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴᴍᴇɴᴛ of Hiyoko is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Daigensui with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.884 billion Hiyokoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruriha's Fortress. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hiyokoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,187 trillion Digitialized Yunoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,323 Digitialized Yunoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The true length of the coastline of Hiyoko may never be measured, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Daigensui is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiyoko's national animal is the Financial Stooge, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anti-Imperialism.

Hiyoko is ranked 8,818th in the world and 1st in Cinder Fall for Highest Average Incomes, with 221,323.66 Standard Monetary Units.
