The ᴀʟʟ-ᴠᴀʟᴋʏʀɪᴇ's ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴᴍᴇɴᴛ of Hiyoko is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Daigensui with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.346 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 relatively small, 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 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hiyokoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,064 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 220,905 Digitialized Yunoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the sound of rattles and selfie shots regularly disrupt political debates, the musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, and "The Pride of the Hiyokoan Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil. 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 279,012^th in the world and 2^nd in Cinder Fall for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -79.58 on the Hayek Index.
