The Democratic Republic of Hykonica is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President of Hykonica with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.138 billion Hykonicans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thessalonica∙Θεσσαλονίκη. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Hykonican economy, worth 106 trillion Hykonican Tyerns 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, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 93,647 Hykonican Tyerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Hykonica, it takes a village to catch a criminal, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hykonica's national animal is the Hykonican Dark Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hykonica is ranked 65,977^th in the world and 162^nd in Europeia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,049.57 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
