The Federation of Hickssylvania is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Andrea Dixon with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 34.074 billion Hickssylvanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. The average income tax rate is 26.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Hickssylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,326 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 156,321 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and babies are a small but significant export. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Hickssylvania's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hickssylvania is ranked 5,243rd in the world and 72nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 3,184.70629512 days.
