The Commune of Hycronesia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Queen-Secretary Ariadne I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.208 billion Hycronesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortuna. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hycronesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion Hycers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 181,856 Hycers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hycronesia's national animal is the Alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Hycronesia is ranked 7,237th in the world and 4th in 8th International for Most Cultured, scoring 138 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
