The Glorious Dictatorship of Hirmuvaltaa is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dúcái Zhě with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, strictly enforced bedtime, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.642 billion Hirmuvaltaans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of lle Gwaethaf. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The very strong Hirmuvaltaan economy, worth 426 trillion cowries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,266 cowries, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ghost regiments exist only on paper, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Hirmuvaltaa's national animal is the skunk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oppressionism.

Hirmuvaltaa is ranked 256,521st in the world and 1,151st in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 16.75025316872 days.
