The Holy Empire of Hipcha is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 327 million Hipchans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Séarlan. The average income tax rate is 24.9%.

The thriving Hipchan economy, worth 28.7 trillion Cheesetouches a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,731 Cheesetouches, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Domestic fishermen fly the Hipchan flag out of fear of being blown up, the internal market is thriving, the diplomatic corps stinks, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime is totally unknown. Hipcha's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hipcha is ranked 78,593^rd in the world and 31^st in Angelic League for Highest Average Incomes, with 87,731.31 Standard Monetary Units.
