The Commonwealth of Hintuwan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Bulalacao with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.183 billion Hintuwanis are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haijing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Hintuwani economy, worth 512 trillion piloncitoes a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 98,872 piloncitoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,981 per year while the poor average 23,720, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", jury duty means front row seats to a spectacular show, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Hintuwan's national animal is the carabao, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Hintuwan is ranked 2,744th in the world and 161st in Osiris for Most Devout, with 6,579.72 prayers per hour.
