The Republic of Hopicionkie is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 1.447 billion Hopicionkieans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.5%.

The all-consuming Hopicionkiean economy, worth 120 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,405 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hopicionkie's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hopicionkie is ranked 27,726^th in the world and 1,762^nd in Osiris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 865.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
