The Commonwealth of Hippie Kiwis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Gregory Lukin with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.368 billion Kiwis 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markov. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kiwish economy, worth a remarkable 8,581 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 313,568 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, the government has enacted freedom of information, and Markov has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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, and its national religion is the Kiwish Cetic Church.

Hippie Kiwis is ranked 304,943^rd in the world and 832^nd in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 3.1 Obesity Rate.
